Pro-life students face some real challenges on some campuses: Their organizations’ displays are destroyed, or their groups are forced to pay extra fees.

One college has managed to do the right thing, by apologizing to one pro-life scholar it silenced:

In June, The College Fix reported on the story of Diana Jimenez, a pro-life student activist who was threatened and ordered to leave campus by a security guard because she was holding a graphic pro-life sign.

Specifically, he firmly states that Biola University will make sure that no student graduates without fully understanding the rationale behind the sanctity of human life, which is one of Biola’s theological distinctives…
