I was listening to the radio yesterday and once again I’m reminded how my Alma Mater Eastern Michigan is slowly becoming a jacked up example of a model University.
It seems my esteemed Alma Mater recently dismissed a student from a counseling program for her refusal to affirm a client’s homosexual behavior prior to a counseling session. She was then told the only way she could stay in the program was to go through a “remediation” process to change her beliefs as they relate to counseling homosexual relationships. Tit for Tat she refuses and they hold her degree as hostage. Long story short she’s suing the University.
Now before anyone gets their panties in a bunch ...I’m indifferent to homosexuality, who am I to judge…..what someone does in their own personal life is their own biz. Furthermore before you make assumptions and think she’s just some Jesus freak or something, there’s no mention in the article about this being the prompting for the refusal to cooperate on the student’s part. Yes the organization that has offered to help her are from the religious right…but that’s just good organizing on their part. Seriously why wouldn’t they jump all over this… it’s manna from heaven in helping promote their cause.
But whether or not her beliefs are based on religious influences doesn’t matter, and if you can’t see that then you are totally missing the point here. The act of believing that homosexual behavior is something that must be affirmed is not a stipulation for her degree requirement or for her to obtain licensing from the State.
I really don’t think that anyone’s opinion about the issue of homosexuality is even relevant in this situation, because I think it goes deeper than just that.
EMU is basically still imposing the same practices that drove me to personally drop out my Master’s Program half way through. They are essentially trying to indoctrinate students to their form of political correctness. I left because I felt that the University was becoming radical in trying to impose their own social morals on me without consideration for my constitutional rights of liberty and free speech.
Why does the constitutional rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness only apply to some and not everyone….Why is it that some Liberals think they are the only ones that can play the constitution card…
So does the University really have a non discrimination policy? Obviously not because anybody can see she was clearly discriminated for her personal choice and refusal to remediate her thinking to align with the supposedly politically correct policy of the University. Ok rant done what do you think?
