In EducationGuardian yesterday:
The Christian union at Birmingham University is taking legal action against the student guild after it froze its bank accounts and refused to allow members to book rooms and use facilities.The Evangelical Christian Union (CU) is being penalised by the university’s student union guild for not amending its constitution to allow a guild leader on to the CU executive, and for refusing to open its membership to people of all faiths and beliefs. The guild also expressed concerns over the use of the words “men” and “women” in the constitution, which it said could be seen as excluding transsexual and transgender people.

I know it’s a cliché, but I’ll say it anyway, because it’s true: “Political correctness gone mad!” More thoughts later…
