This article is confusing to me. This Julea Ward was a student and yet somehow was expected to counsel a LGBT student?

That being said, if people go into counseling and presumably end up with Master's Degrees they should be well educated enough in the science of psychology to understand the dynamics of various sexual orientations or if not at least be able to help LGBT students whether or not the approve of their lifestyle, otherwise they are not really professional.

Surely they must understand from the beginning that these sorts of situations are likely to present themselves and perhaps decide to pursue another career if this is so impossible for them? It's like a surgeon being squeamish about the sight of blood. Give me a break. Surprise! There are LGBT students here!



According the The Tennessean, the bill was inspired by Julea Ward, a Christian student who was expelled from Eastern Michigan after she refused to “engage in gay-affirming counseling” by helping an LGBT student who wanted to be treated for depression in 2009. Arizona has already passed a law based on the case. Similar bills have also been proposed by lawmakers in Michigan and Georgia.

Like PD said, they answer to a higher power.

I wonder if they would hire a virgin to teach college level course on Human Sexuality...?

So that highlighted red area in your statement I'm quoting here means that you are willing to accept ALL sexual orientations of mature willing companions?... Right! Like I believe that!

Did you notice he vanished when that pervert tracker showed up, and now he's back since they left the forum.

Isn't that odd...?
