Yeshiva University has asked the Supreme Court to intervene in its legal battle over the recognition of an LGBTQ student club on religious freedom grounds.
The Manhattan school on Monday filed the emergency application to stay a state court ruling ordering it to formally register the Yeshiva University Pride Alliance.
“Yeshiva is now asking the Court to protect its religious mission from government interference,” high-profile law firm the Becket Fund for Religious Liberty, representing the university, said in a press release.
“The lower court rulings would force Yeshiva to put its stamp of approval on a club and activities that are inconsistent with the school’s Torah values and the religious environment it seeks to maintain on its undergraduate campuses,” it said.
Four current and former students filed suit in Manhattan Supreme Court last April, claiming the college had denied multiple requests to officially register a gay-rights group as a student club. ...
The school requested a stay “to prevent… grave and irreparable constitutional harm” to its First Amendment rights to religious freedom, according to the 42-page filing.
