When Benjamin told Sparks that banning the group was discriminatory, the author replied: \u201cNot allowing them to have a club is NOT discrimination.\u201d<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>In another email, Sparks suggested banning all forms of student protest after two <a title=\"\" class=\"aalmanual\" target=\"_blank\"   href=\"https:\/\/www.flirt4free.com\/live\/girls\/?mp_code=akftr\">lesbian<\/a> students planned to come out during chapel services.
