Should Christians who oppose same-sex marriage based on religious beliefs be allowed to obtain degrees in counseling?
That’s
the question at the heart of a lawsuit filed in federal court by a
former student at Missouri State University who claims he was kicked out
of a master’s program in counseling because of his religious beliefs.
Andrew
Cash claims he was “targeted and punished for expressing his Christian
worldview regarding a hypothetical situation concerning whether he would
provide counseling to a gay/homosexual couple.”
MSU spokeswoman
Suzanne Shaw told the News-Leader that the “university strictly
prohibits discrimination on the basis of religion or any other protected
class.” She would not comment on specifics of the case.
According
to the lawsuit, Dr. Kristi Perryman, the counseling department’s
internship coordinator, confronted Cash about his views toward
counseling gay people.
