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.
The university contended she violated school policy and the American Counseling Association code of ethics.
“Christian students shouldn’t be expelled for holding to and abiding by their beliefs,” said ADF senior counsel David French. “To reach its decision, the court had to do something that’s never been done in federal court: uphold an extremely broad and vague university speech code.”
Eastern Michigan University hailed the decision.

Those public schools have no problem taking tax money from Christians. I think all Christians should abandon public schools, they teach crap anyway.
this happens continually in less visible ways -— colleges and professions are doing all they can to purge any dissenting views of a more “conservative” outlook
But marxists, homosexuals, liberals can vehemently oppose Christianity and suffer no consequence.This world is upside down...
Paging the ACLU, but they don’t seem to be answering.
It’s Satanic.
10 to 1 their are Muslim students attending that University. It is in Michigan after all. The University has to expel those students for their religious beliefs as well!
Let’s see how well that will fly!
Bingo
Take this to a higher court!!!!
“But marxists, homosexuals, liberals can vehemently oppose Christianity and suffer no consequence.”
au contraire, my friend. All sin has a consequence, and they will suffer for it. It’s just not in our hands.
The next logical step, then, is a ruling in favor of a public university that removed a Christian student from its graduate program in school counseling over her belief that murder and armed robbery is morally wrong.
“colleges and professions are doing all they can to purge any dissenting views of a more “conservative” outlook”
Freshman year my kid got hammered on his college papers that expressed conservative views. He adapted to produce the most slimy, absurd and ridiculous crap papers that were given A grades.
We used to conspire together to find ways to place dem talking points and contemporary PC speech into the papers.
Some of his papers that were graded A were so bad I could not make it through reading the first page.
The best one he wrote was themed, “Anyone who disagrees with Obama is a racist” Graded an A and was the biggest pile of crap I have ever read.
For this Kid, the Profs are the ones who got manipulated.
Well, I guess it’s not hyperbolic to call Steeh a Nazi, now.
Personal experience having recently been involved in Jury selection. I noticed an attitude that indicates to me Leftist perspective is dominant in the judicial system today.
Values we all grew up with in the forties, and the fifties are not recognized in todays court it seems. Just one example if I may get away with just one is that guilt by association is not recognized. This was preached by the defense as well backed up by the judge. I was tossed from the Jury because I vehemently disagreed with them both. The defense even used Obama as an example of NOT being considered guilty by associating with the likes of Ayers, and so many others.
As I’ve posted before it seems Leftist’s gravitate to Justice, Journalism, Academia, and Politics. More so than folks of commonsense. I have deepest respect for those Conservatives that roll up their sleeves and enter those occupations to fight for what is right.
In a world turned upside down the perverts win.
That is illegal in Maryland(refusing to service clients based on homosexuality) . She would have had a better legal case if she had counseled them to stop acting on their desires and they decided not to see her because they didnt like the advice.
She should now file a Civil Rights suit.
The public schools are in the business of conditioning and brainwashing the students into cultural Marxism. All the PC junk and multiculturalism, tolerance, etc. is their goal—to make everyone equally dumb and shy away from any criticizing of their ideas. They use humiliation in the classroom to make each student conform to the one way to think—the Marxist way.
After public schools are finished with their indoctrination, it is nearly impossible to straighten out the thinking of these people. Their thinking is based on disinformation....fed basic lies that are not part of reasoning....so you will not be able to get these people to see the truth in facts.
KGB defector explains this on youtube in the 70’s. People are giving their children to the devil when they allow them to be programmed in the public schools.
The student looks understandably pissed off, but she is sure is beautiful. There seems to be something in conservative thought that lends itself to female beauty. Just an observation.
Once I get over my heterosexuality, I’ll be pissed, too.
We must all remember: psychology is, by its very nature, anti-God.
Based on an interview I heard on the radio this morning, this was rather an expected and necessary step for the case to advance (eventually) to the SCOTUS.
There are LOTS of issues involved but, IMO, the lower court’s ruling should be overturned. I’m not a lawyer (and I don’t play one on TV!) but I think the university’s position is a losing one. The SCOTUS decision will be interesting when the case makes it that far.
“There seems to be something in conservative thought that lends itself to female beauty. Just an observation.”
She *is* easy on the eyes. As a lifelong male lesbian I can point that out.
is there going to be an appeal?
Take it to the SCOTUS... 5/4 decision.

By the way, this is exactly the way bright students worked their way through the Soviet academies.
I mean, shoot, it's not like we need half of what goes on in most public universities anywise.
I guess if the public university promoted cannibalism and beastiality as inclusive, you'd be on board?
Sloppy thinking.
The question is obvious: why do you keep your child in such an atmosphere? There have be other universities, no?
Unfortunately, Americans do not have the leadership and organization to mount an effective resistance to the ongoing conquest. Indeed, it is starting to look like Americans themselves do not even have the spiritual strength to mount a resistance. This is sad as these groups want your wealth, your children and your very persons.
However, I’m sure a Muslim in culinary school would get away with refusing to prepare pork products.
WHAT is a "male lesbian"????
WHAT is a "male lesbian"????
Sorry for the double-post.
A. He chose where he wanted to go to school.
B. He learned how to read people like a book over this experience.
C. He’s been working in his field since he was 16.
D. Five months after graduation he was employed with a multi-billion/year company in a technical field completely unrelated to his major and making good money.
He only needed the pedigree of a diploma, not the “education”.
FYI, I am a male lesbian. El Rushbo is a proud male lesbian.
It’s the only politically correct way for straight hetero guys to proclaim they are attracted to women.
Some describe it as being a lesbian trapped inside a man’s body.

Senator to Defendant: Are you now, or have you ever been a member of a Christian organization? Give us names or be in contempt and go to prison.
I see. So, you’re saying that he attended a higher education facilities but not for higher education. Gotcha.
I know other people with a similar orientation.
Why waste time with the whole court? It only matters what Kennedy thinks. Kennedy is the king of America.
I never once said I was “on board” however I’d like to see this tried at Hillsdale and see how far it got.
No, she just refused to counsel them in the state approved manner.
That is close to the truth.

Exactly. He was already self-educated and didn’t need the knowledge of a degree, only it’s pedigree which is recognized by corporate America.
A male lesbian is a male who is attracted to women. Rather than being called heterosexual, you have all the advantages of being a lesbian while staying true to your identity.
Man-dyke Pride!
My daughter graduated from a conservative Christian university, thank God. She is now in the MBA program. There are some very good Christian colleges out there. I don’t know why more conservatives don’t attend them. She had/has excellent professors.
