  • Student ordered to alter views?

    http://www.foxnews.com/us/2010/07/27...awsuit-claims/

    I might have to keep tabs on this story. It could be that things have occurred just as the lawsuit claims--that a graduate student in educational counseling has been remediated for her beliefs regarding homosexuality.

    However, my experience suggests another possibility: that instead of demonstrating her mastery of the assigned material, she instead articulated her non-discipline-specific beliefs about homosexuality. I've had a few religiously conservative students get defensive and fall into that particular hole.
    We all trust our own unorthodoxies.

    Man, what going to be difficult about this situation is finding a reliable source for news about the case. This is going to blow up.
