The situation described in the Detroit Free Press article linked below deals with a young lady who was dismissed from her academic graduate program for declining to professionally deal with sexual orientation of homosexuals during her counseling sessions. She has taken matters into the legal system as she feels she was discriminated because of her religious beliefs. However, she did agree that she would work with people of this orientation during counseling sessions she just would not discuss their sexual orientation and relationships as it goes against her religious beliefs. In this situation it is hard to tell whether the University is using her religion against her academically and professionally but it sure does seem that way. Below is the link with the full story detailing the events that lead up to her expulsion and the actions that she has taken thus far. What are your thoughts on this situation? Is she being discriminatory or discriminated against?
