In a case with a very similar UK parallel, the US Court of Appeals has ruled in favour of Julea Ward, an Eastern Michigan University (EMU) student, who was expelled from its graduate counselling program because of her Christian beliefs.
Julea was on course to pass her degree until she was assigned a homosexual client seeking assistance for problems with a sexual relationship. As a Christian, Julea did not want to affirm the person’s sexual practices.
Julea asked to have the clinic assign the client to another counsellor, yet she was subsequently charged with ‘ethical violations’ and forced to attend a meeting where her beliefs were repeatedly mocked. She was told that she would have to see the “error of her ways” and change her “belief system” if she wanted to obtain her degree.
Julea refused to compromise her beliefs and was subsequently dismissed from the program.

Self explanatory title. I abhor that nicey nicey, politically correct, pseudo-Christianity which almost always supports leftwing attitudes - which in most cases are profoundly anti-Gospel. This Blog supports persecuted Christians. This Blog exposes cults. This Blog opposes junk science. UPDATED DAILY. This is not a forum. This Blog supports truly Christian websites and aids their efforts. It is hardhitting and unashamedly evangelical so if it offends - please do not come to this site!
