That brought hysterical Opposition from civil rights activists who claim that Bob Jones University is a racist institution and that Mr. Reagan was favoring racism. Bob Jones University has a multi-racial student body. All races are treated equally. There is no discrimination here. Mr. Reagan, under the Pressure of racist extremists, presented Congress with a bill that is the beginning of the end of religious freedom in America. The bill was drafted in order to make Bob Jones University a “sacrificial lamb” and thus remove the charge uf racism from the President’s tarnished reputation. The bill in its present form is an abomination and affects the religious freedom of all people.

An alternative bill is being drafted by concerned legislators and deserves the Support of everyone who loves religious freedom. The battle is just beginning. It is a time fo? all Christians and religions of every sort to awake and arise to watchfulness and aggressiveness, The thought of anyone’s having his religious Convictions singled out for taxation is intolerable. It is not necessary to agree with someone's religious practice in order to want it protected.
