University Says Change Beliefs or No Degree

As astounding as this might sound, Augusta State University is threatening one of their students to change her “central religious beliefs on human nature and conduct” or be expelled.

You see, Jennifer Keeton has some traditional views on homosexuals and transgendered persons so that can’t be tolerated by those who claim tolerance as a hallmark. Naturally, she’s filing a lawsuit and I hope she wins.

“[Augusta State University] faculty have promised to expel Miss Keeton from the graduate Counselor Education Program not because of poor academic showing or demonstrated deficiencies in clinical performance, but simply because she has communicated both inside and outside the classroom that she holds to Christian ethical convictions on matters of human sexuality and gender identity,” the 43-page lawsuit reads.

Universities have been the bastion of liberalism for decades but this boldness is new. Alternatives in education have been springing up lately and I, for one, am encouraged.
