The time for fence-sitting is done. Over. No more. Even if you think that what happens in some little bitty corner of the world doesn’t affect you, you must get off the fence. You must search your heart, your mind and your soul. You must remove your rear-end from the fence. You must take a stand. The issues are falling from the sky like rain. There is no shortage. But, know this—If Americans do not stand up now and take a stand on the side of freedom, you can kiss America goodbye or at least the America that is the home of the free, land of the brave. Finally, once you are done with your soul searching, let everyone know - your neighbors, your relatives and especially those folks in Washington who think you are too stupid to be able to make your own decisions. And most of all, make it known at the ballot box. Time is short. Do not allow it to pass you by or think that someone will come forward to stop it. That someone is you.
A federal judge has ruled in favor of a public university that removed a Christian student from its graduate program in school counseling over her belief that homosexuality is morally wrong. Monday’s ruling, according to Julea Ward’s attorneys, could result in Christian students across the country being expelled from public university for similar views.
“It’s a very dangerous precedent,” Jeremy Tedesco, legal counsel for the conservative Alliance Defense Fund, told FOX News Radio. “The ruling doesn’t say that explicitly, but that’s what is going to happen.”
U.S. District Judge George Caram Steeh dismissed Ward’s lawsuit against Eastern Michigan University. She was removed from the school’s counseling program last year because she refused to counsel homosexual clients.
The university contended she violated school policy and the American Counseling Association code of ethics.
“Christian students shouldn’t be expelled for holding to and abiding by their beliefs,” said ADF senior counsel David French. “To reach its decision, the court had to do something that’s never been done in federal court: uphold an extremely broad and vague university speech code.”
