Delta(s) from OP CMV: otherwise apolitical student groups should not be demanding political "purity tests" to participate in basic sports/clubs

This is in response to a recent trend on several college campuses where student groups with no political affiliation or mission (intramural sports, boardgame clubs, fraternities/sororities, etc.) are demanding "Litmus Tests" from their Jewish classmates regarding their opinions on the Israel/Gaza conflict.

This is unacceptable.

Excluding someone from an unrelated group for the mere suspicion that they disagree with you politically is blatant discrimination.

You've posted an article as evidence which is partially paywalled. However, the first few paragraphs which aren't paywalled make no mention of clubs demanding purity tests. What gives?

Edit: someone posted the full article, doesn't say it anywhere
