Student expelled for Biblical view on homosexuality
The link above takes you to Fox News story about Julea Ward, a student at Eastern Michigan University. Ms. Ward sued the school after she was dismissed from the school's graduate program in counseling because she believes that homosexuality is immoral. Her views are rooted and grounded in the Bible. A federal judge dismissed her lawsuit, setting a dangerous precedent that could result in Christian students across the country being expelled for their beliefs.
Ms. Ward was expelled after she refused to counsel gay couples because she happens to believe the Biblical truths that homosexuality is a sin, an abomination to God, and that marriage is between one man and one woman. This could result in other Christian students being expelled or otherwise punished for abiding by and sticking to their deeply held beliefs.
The thing that gets me is if Ms. Ward had been Muslim and wanted to counsel couples according to Sharia law while wearing a burka, not only would she not have been expelled, she would been celebrated. Make no mistake about it, these Liberal schools and activist judges don't have a problems with "religion" as they so generically try to have us believe. They have a problem with Christianity and seek to rid society of it and all its influence.
What I think would be great is if their little plan backfired. Instead of them expelling Christian students because of their beliefs, I would love to see all Christian student totally avoid all mainstream, secular, Liberal colleges. Go to places like Hillsdale, Liberty University, Oral Roberts, or any of a number of private colleges where their faith will be re-enforced and not ridiculed. Hit those secular colleges square in the pocketbook. Not only will they not have Christian students to pick on anymore, but they just find themselves not having enough revenue to keep going. Now that would be priceless!
