incident #1: a student at the university of cumberlands was expelled from school after administrators discovered he was gay through a "my space" website. according to an article printed in the lexington herald, the school defends its decision because the student "promotes sexual behavior not consistent with Christian principles".
incident #2: A federal lawsuit has been filed against Georgia Tech on behalf of religious students who feel their constitutional right to free speech has been threatened by the "gay tolerant" policies of Georgia Tech. Here's more:
The lawsuit alleges that the school policy discriminates against
Christian and Jewish students by barring them from speaking out against
homosexuality and other issues.
Ruth Malhotra, a conservative Christian, one of the students represented
by the ADF, said she has had her free speech "stifled, hindered and
threatened". The other student, Orit Sklar is president of Hillel, the
Jewish student group. The lawsuit is also being supported by the campus
Republican club.
Nice, huh? See what happens to basic human rights when you live in a right-wing, militarized, anti-immigrant, war-mongering police state? I'm not sure I can last until 2008.
