America is a diverse nation, full of different viewpoints of opinions and beliefs about the best way to live. And that is one of our great strengths: that from the very beginning, the founders of our nation envisioned a society in which different perspectives could exist side by side without undue government interference.
In a crucial ruling this month, a federal court in Eugene, Oregon, sided with Americans who still believe in that vision. The judge dismissed a lawsuit that was attempting to punish religious colleges and universities for operating in accordance with their deeply held beliefs. This dismissal is a victory for all Americans who believe in freedom of expression and diversity of thought.
