A Welcome Backdown "The University of Wisconsin announced a plan Wednesday that would allow resident assistants to hold Bible study meetings in their dormitory rooms. The plan was immediately praised by critics of the old policies in place on some Wisconsin campuses, which barred such meetings as an infringement on the separation of church and state, since the R.A.'s are state employees.... The issue gained prominence in the fall, when an R.A. at the University of Wisconsin at Eau Claire complained that he was barred from organizing religious meetings in his dormitory room". "R.A.s" are apparently senior students who are given some authority over the dormitory they live in and are paid something in return. The Leftists argued that as State employees they could not support any religion. There may be something in that argument except that the RA concerned was holding Bible studies in his own time in his own room. Apparently, to Leftists, Christians are not entitled to any private life.
