Gay policy could hurt pharmacy school plan (DU the poll)

[NVMojo]

The University of the Cumberlands' rule against gay students appears to put the school's hopes for a pharmacy school on a collision course with national accreditation standards that prohibit discrimination against gays.

Last week, the Southern Baptist university dismissed Jason Johnson, 20, a sophomore theater arts major from Lexington, after he disclosed on a Web site that he is gay. That action put the spotlight on the University of the Cumberlands' rule against homosexuality and extramarital sex. A school policy says both are "not consistent with Christian principles."

That rule seems in direct conflict, though, with the standards of the Accreditation Council for Pharmacy Education, the only group that can accredit new and existing pharmacy schools in the United States.

6. gosh - but it's worth it

the entire graduating class may not be able to get jobs . . . ever, but they got rid of that pesky gay boy. Sorry they had to burn the village to get rid of one villager, and now they're whining about it?

Apparently whine goes very well with cheezus.
