FOXNews.com - Court Upholds Expulsion of Counseling Student Who Opposes Homosexuality
The college said she violated the "American Counseling Association code of ethics.", yet, in a simple Google search I easily found Counselors specializing in Gay and Lesbian clients...
So, to me, this ruling sets the precedent against Christian based Counselors...
Am I missing something here, or is this a complete and utter, double standard?
A federal judge has ruled in favor of a public university that removed a Christian student from its graduate program in school counseling over her belief that homosexuality is morally wrong. Monday's ruling, according to Julea Ward's attorneys, could result in Christian students across the country being expelled from public university for similar views.
“It’s a very dangerous precedent,” Jeremy Tedesco, legal counsel for the conservative Alliance Defense Fund, told FOX News Radio. “The ruling doesn’t say that explicitly, but that’s what is going to happen.”
U.S. District Judge George Caram Steeh dismissed Ward’s lawsuit against Eastern Michigan University. She was removed from the school’s counseling program last year because she refused to counsel homosexual clients.
Ward’s attorneys claim the university told her she would only be allowed to remain in the program if she went through a “remediation” program so that she could “see the error of her ways” and change her belief system about homosexuality. (more at source)
