    Court affirms seminary's right to enforce rules of behavior

    A federal judge has dismissed a lawsuit by two students who were engaged in same-sex marriages and were dismissed from Fuller Theological Seminary for violating the rules of behavior to which they had agreed.


    According to the non-profit legal group Becket, which was representing the school, the judge found that it was "well established … that courts should refrain from trolling through a person's or institution's religious beliefs."

    The case, considered a landmark that could impact students and schools nationwide, said the seminary held the right to train students for ministry according to its sincere religious beliefs, free of government entanglement.


    Two students, Joanna Maxon and Nathan Brittsan, had sued Fuller for dismissing them after they agreed to follow, and then violated, the school's standards.

    Spoiled brats...........again? They AGREED to the standards before starting, and then decide afterwards the standards aren't convenient to the life they want to lead? I'd say they should appreciate that the school refunded their money for the classes they didn't complete. If you don't want to live your life according to Biblical teachings, then why attend that type of school? Just hoping for a big settlement that you can retire on before you've even contributed anything?

    Do we deny a right to all women's college? All black college?

    Not as a private institution, but for some reason a theological school of learning needs to be taken down by LGBTQ....?

    I say BS!

    Spoiled brats? Nah. Something is fishy about this. I suspect this was an attempt at infiltration.
    Whoever criticizes capitalism, while approving immigration, whose working class is its first victim, had better shut up. Whoever criticizes immigration, while remaining silent about capitalism, should do the same.

    This seems as likely to be genuine as your typical 'homos just happened to choose a Christian bakery' scenario. Viruses.
