When Brandon Jenkins applied to the Radiation Therapy Program at the Community College of Baltimore County (CCBC) in Maryland, the last thing on his mind was that he would be rejected for his faith in God – but that's exactly what happened.
Not long after Jenkins initially applied to CCBC's program as a very strong candidate, he was told by a faculty member that the "field [of radiation therapy] is not the place for religion."
"I understand that religion is a major part of your life and that was evident in your recommendation letters; however, this field is not the place for religion," CCBC Radiation Therapy Program director Adrienne Dougherty told Jenkins. "We have many patients who come to us for treatment from many different religions and some who believe in nothing at all."

Sue them , and then sue them again.
Remember when Russia and China were atheist nations and the U.S.A. was a Christian nation? How times change.
If he was muslim, there is little doubt they would have accepted him.
So much for freedom of religion and association.
“If he was muslim, there is little doubt they would have accepted him.”
to not do so would have been deemed “racist”.
Yep.
I am not sure I understand the logic of this professor. What does one’s religious beliefs or non-beliefs have to do with whether one will be a good radiation therapist or not.
He seems to be implying that if one hold strong Christian beliefs that he or she will not properly treat non-Christians. But of course, Muslims and atheists should also be rejected since Muslims will not treat non-believes
and atheists will not treat believers. So the program should probably just admit agnostics.
"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.— First Amendment to the Constitution of the United States of America, commonly referred to as The Bill of Rights.
What part of the citation above do these yahoos fail to comprehend? The part in bold apparently. SUE THEM! Sue them for lots of money.
Yeah, Russia and China are true beacons of freedom, morals, and Christianity...
“SUE THEM! Sue them for lots of money. “
Lawsuits cost $5,000 down an $500/hour to operate. Then, what will he be awarded? Actual damages? How do you calculate that?

“field [of radiation therapy] is not the place for religion.” ?!?!?!?!?!?!
God invented radiation. Without Him there would be no field of radiation therapy.
Oh well, the atheist will have his day in court (Judgment Day) and he can attempt to explain to God why he is right and God is wrong....
I don't see how it is relevant for a radiation therapist. However, ethical training for doctors is important and often lacking. A doctor who's religion/culture easily accepts death may advise a patient differently than one who believes death should be fought. Without at least a recognition that the patient may have a different belief system than their own, the doctor will simply give advice based on their own beliefs (and may do so in an authoritative manner).
Sure. But if the applicant had said that he enjoyed his “ROP” religion, and that he hated Christians and Jews, and that he loved to watch videos of his brothers slicing living Jews’ necks off living Jews’ bodies, he would have been given a scholarship and free room and board.
there’s no room for faith in the field, but you’d be guaranteed fags would be encouraged to attend
just another example of the left trying to trip up the education and career paths of conservatives and right leaning folks
make sure to do the same to any and every liberal you can
Do what the left does...sue the crap out of them.
The only proselytizing that I have seen from the medical community is at the VA, one a Muslim physical therapist, who even gave me a note, and the others who have Coexist type new age, religious symbols and posters on their office walls there.
It is a strange thing to see.
“.... Russia and China were atheist nations and the U.S.A. was a Christian nation?”
.
The USA was technically never a Christian nation or they would have adhered to the First Commandment: “You shall have no gods except me”.
“Me” being the Christian god and only Him.
Allowing non-Christians to establish their beliefs in this country is flatly against the First Commandment. You either follow it to the letter or you don’t — there can be no compromise. Hence the US is not a Christian nation.
Whether we like it or not, Muslim nations are more sincere in their religious beliefs — that’s why they don’t allow the public practice of any other religion in their countries.
Even the Romans were more passionate in the practice of their erroneous religion. That’s the reason for their persecution of early Christians.
He should sue the administrators personally as well. Otherwise they will continue to discriminate but just not say why they are rejecting them.
