Via World Net Daily:
24 year old Jen Keeton was told by Richard Deaner, Paulette Schenck, and Mary Jane Anderson-Wiley (pictured right) of Augusta State University that she must deny her Christian beliefs about homosexuality and attend a Gay Pride parade in order to remain a student at their institution.
From the article:
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 law firm explained.
School spokeswoman Kathy Schose today declined to address the allegations in the case but agreed to discuss the counselor teaching program in general.
She cited the American Counseling Association’s code of ethics and said students would be required to adopt its provisions.
“There is a code of ethics that govern counselors,” she said. “They have to abide by the code of the profession.”
Ethics codes generally govern behavior, and Schose denied the school was attempting to alter any student’s beliefs or moral values.
But the lawsuit specifically charges the faculty members targeted Keeton’s biblically based belief system and values, not her behavior regarding the treatment of any clients, which had not yet happened.
Jen Keeton (pictured left) will become another victim of a pro-homosexual agenda that has been spreading for many years if they lose in court. Notice the unwillingness of Deaner, Schenck, and Anderson-Wiley to even consider the possibility that Keeton’s biblical beliefs are correct. They come to their conclusion and graduation from their counseling program is not withheld for not doing the work, rather, it is withheld for not agreeing with them on an issue which is closed for discussion.
