Jennifer Keeton thought she was about to graduate from Augusta State University and start her career as a school counselor. Sadly, the school decided she wasn’t sufficiently gay friendly to warrant giving her a diploma.
Jennifer happens to be a Christian. She mentioned in class that she didn’t agree with the gay lifestyle and the school went ape shit. A faculty member told her she “couldn’t be a teacher let alone a counselor with those views.”
Wow, so you can’t be a teacher in this country if you disagree with the gay lifestyle?
Anyway, school officials created a remediation plan for Jennifer that she would need to complete in order to graduate.
The officials outlined a remediation plan for Keeton that would include such things as participating in diversity sensitivity workshops, completing reading and writing assignments on the topic and possibly attending the Augusta Gay Pride Parade, the complaint said.
Jennifer’s response was right on target:
She refused, writing in an e-mail to Augusta State officials, "[Y]ou are requiring me to alter my objective beliefs and also to commit now that if I ever may have a client who wants me to affirm their decision to have an abortion or engage in gay, lesbian, or transgender behavior, I will do that.
"I can’t alter my biblical beliefs, and I will not affirm the morality of those behaviors in a counseling situation."
Instead, she filed a lawsuit. A lawsuit she’ll most definitely win and win big.
That’s the problem with these leftist institutions. They want to produce a bunch of rigid cookie cutter drones who all conform to the same left-wing ideology.
The beauty of the free market is that if Jennifer’s patients don’t like her advice they have the freedom to seek council elsewhere. Refusing to let her even become a counselor unless she bows to the gay agenda is outrageous and un-American.

I think liberals are just pissed off that Conservative women are so much better looking. Hot Conservative women who stand by their convictions. Does it get any better than that?
