True. But banning it is not a good strategy because it gives them the high ground. A better way would be to allow the club to operate, and then have a student or two using the bible to criticize the practices of US christians as inconsistent with the book they revere. That would almost certainly result in those students being kicked out of the club, which in turn could be used as the grounds to file discrimination charges against the club. They cannot discriminate against anyone if they operate on a public facility, such as a school, no?
