Virginia State University this summer implemented a new policy that told Christian campus ministries, these are student ministries run by students, that all of them had to come under the authority of a campus minister.
Ryan BangertGUEST
85:53
But they excluded from the policy the Muslim Student Association, they excluded secular associations, so this was directed explicitly at Christian clubs.
Ryan BangertGUEST
86:04
and it denied them the ability to associate with outside groups.
Ryan BangertGUEST
89:04
That's correct, Todd.
Ryan BangertGUEST

In fact, both of those organizations, Women's Victory and Bethel, are associated with broader national organizations.

And I remember learning about the fugitive slave acts at that time and how our African-American brothers and sisters were persecuted with slave catchers and how these bounty hunters were paid.
Cindy BenavidesSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER

And it almost reminds me a little bit like some similarities of what we're seeing now with state sanctioned violence against immigrant communities that you have masked men who don't identify themselves, who kidnap our communities and sometimes even kill them.
