Current and former students at evangelical Christian colleges sued the Education Department to get the religious exemption to antidiscrimination protections granted to the institutions declared unconstitutional. [More]
This is the group doing the agitating. I wasn't able to define who they are and who funds them from either a WhoIs search or from an Oregon corporate search, and didn't have the incentive to get further into the weeds on this to grok what they mean by "taxpayer-funded."
Are they referring to tax exemptions that all non-profits enjoy, or do the schools in question get actual handouts? If the former, I trust they're also intent on forcing themselves on Islamic schools? If the latter, hey, there's a rendering price when dealing with Caesar.
Or is this simply another tolerance demand from the anti-Christian intolerant, and a power grab to take over and repurpose by adherents of the original rebellion?

David,
I'm glad you tried to get to the funding of this PAC.
It suggests 'Dark Money' is behind this.
So, I wonder what is really going on.
"Are they referring to tax exemptions that all non-profits enjoy, or do the schools in question get actual handouts?"
If you spend a little time at the website of Hillsdale College, you can get a good grounding in the complexities of this trap.
Hillsdale rejects all government funding, precisely so they can run the school the way they want, and not have to bow down to any of the government's PC BS. And that funding is scattered all over creation, like land mines.
Do you accept a student who was awarded a Pell grant scholarship? You're "taking federal funding." A veteran, on the GI Bill? Same. Just one student who pays for her tuition with "federal" money, and "you" are taking federal funding. Hillsdale has gone to heroic lengths to ensure that they are not taking one penny of any of this, and it drives the fedguv insane. They keep sending factota from DC to tell Hillsdale "you must this and that," and Hillsdale says, "no, we don't." I have heard rumors that there are maybe one or two more schools in the entire country that have remained unentangled by this net, but I don't know their names.
If you take the king's shilling, you must do the king's bidding.
