Score one for universities

[velvetpage]

A U.S. court upheld the expulsion of a counselling student who could not reconcile her religious belief that being gay was immoral with her ethical requirement to counsel anyone who needed her help. There's at least one similar case elsewhere in the country, and if it gets decided differently, the matter could very conceivably go to the Supreme Court.

Kudos to cereta for this one.

I have to wonder what she was doing in that program to begin with. There are private Christian universities that offer parallel courses in Christian counselling. Was she trying to get secular accreditation so as to undermine the secular organization later on? Christian pharmacists have been doing it for decades - why not Christian counsellors?

Could be the price. Or could be a misguided attempt at evangelizing an unsuspecting public?
