... Jennifer Keeton, who has sued Augusta State University to keep from getting expelled for not repudiating her statements about homosexuality. Keeton expressed her biblical perspective on the subject in and out of class while working toward a degree in counseling, and the school mandated a “remediation plan” that appears to have required her to renounce her Christian doctrine in order to gain a diploma from the school. The school has responded that a bias against homosexuality would disqualify Keeton from certification, a position that would put most Christians in Keeton’s position.
... It sounds to me like the ACA [AMERICAN COUNSELING ASSOCIATION] wants a “don’t ask, don’t tell” rule for religion. That runs square into the First Amendment, especially for a state-run school. The ACA’s idea of who comes first doesn’t get to trump the restriction on freedom of religious exercise. If clients get off-put by Keeton’s approach to counseling, they can look for another counselor. Now, the ACA can decide not to certify her; as a private organization, they have that prerogative. If they do that explicitly based on her religious belief, however, they may have a problem with that in court, especially as it will block Keeton’s ability to make a living.The state-run school has no such leeway. They cannot impose a religious test for graduation, no matter how they dress it up.
IF SHE WAS A MUSLIM, THEN OBAMA AND HOLDER WOULD BE SUING THE ACA AND THE GRAD SCHOOL ON HER BEHALF.
THE POSTMODERN LEFT AND THEIR GRAMSCIAN ALLIES AND JIHADIST COMRADES HATE JUDEO-CHRISTIANITY.
THAT'S WHAT THIS IS REALLY ABOUT.

Just heard about this case earlier tonight. Many groups on the political fringes would limit our free speech rights and its shocking that a University in the deep south would adopt such an extremist position---I doubt it will stand when challenged in court, although after the ruling in Arizona today, who knows.
She should win in court.
But that she even has to go to court is an abomination.
Hate and envy: what have THEY created?
Marx's father was a rabbi and I think he was envious of his father so badly he decided he was going to invent something better than Judaism. All he did was, like Mo ham head, pervert everything in the Torah.Marxism, like islam is just about hate and envy.
