According to an official press release from Palm Beach University, the Florida Christian college will deny Soulforce Equality Riders access to its on campus students.
SAFE applauds this decision and believes more schools have “wised up” to the Soulforce game of releasing misleading press statements, fomenting lies and opposing school policies which protect the sexual integrity of Christian students.
When it became apparent that Soulforce intended to visit without regard to the University’s response, administrators offered a campus visit with representative students, faculty and staff. The offer was made as a courtesy after prayerful and thoughtful consideration focusing on the need to maintain the University’s schedule of classes and activities without disruption. Soulforce’s response called the University’s good-faith offer “restrictive” and announced plans to walk on campus to hold an open forum.
Though Soulforce has misstated the University’s policies in their news releases, admission to the University is open to anyone who meets the University’s admission requirements, academic and otherwise. The University does not ban enrollment of students with same sex orientation. Although Palm Beach Atlantic welcomes students from various backgrounds, the University does require that all students adhere to the behavioral standards outlined in the student handbook, The Navigator, which prohibits activities that are inconsistent with the teachings of the Bible.”
Soulforce has racked up an undeniable record of deception in order to force their brand of false equality onto Christian schools. PBA officials refused to alter their original terms of meeting with ER and said the visit will not change their policies concerning student conduct.
Palm Beach Atlantic further stated that if the visitors deviated from the University’s plan, it would take appropriate action, including restricting the visitors from campus and terminating all planned activities.
