Why Bible-Believing Christians Should Care
If a public university is training staff or students to treat religious liberty claims as inherently discriminatory, that reframes a foundational constitutional protection as a pretext for bias rather than a legitimate exercise of conscience. For Christian faculty, staff, and students, this matters because it signals a climate in which biblical convictions on hiring, speech, or conduct could be labeled discriminatory before any actual complaint is made. Institutions that quietly redefine religious liberty this way often use the label to justify excluding or penalizing believers who hold to historic biblical teaching, particularly on sexuality and marriage. Christians connected to UGA should know exactly what this training says and how it is being applied.

From the book
Schools operate under mandates for safety, inclusion, and critical thinking. Activists weaponize those terms under Rule 4. Redefine safety to mean protection from opposing ideas and the school must now exclude traditional Christian viewpoints in order to fulfill its own stated mandate.
