(RNS) D.C. Tosses Complaint Against Catholic University Dorms

The District of Columbia has dismissed a complaint against The Catholic University of America that charged the school’s return to same-gender student housing discriminates against women.

In an order issued Tuesday (Nov. 29), the city’s Office of Human Rights said offering only single-sex dormitories is not unlawful discrimination under the District’s Human Rights Act.

To follow the complaint’s reasoning would lead to “a prohibition on same-sex bathrooms, locker rooms, and sports teams, which would lead to absurd results,” the order said.

    My wife was a Residence Hall director at a major university for several years before we met. She quit the year before this university went to co-ed dorms for the first time because she knew they would be nothing but disciplinary problems.

    And she was right. Disciplinary problems went through the roof the year they did that and haven’t come down since.

    A rare glimmer of sanity from the far left bastion that is DC.

    The same lawyer sued to force CUA to provide space for Muslims to pray. We should hope for a similar outcome in that case, and him being forced to pay CUA’s legal bills.

    Common sense is singularly uncommon.

    Didn’t we all know this would happen?
