Tennessee College Gets To Boot Pregnant Homos, Keep Its Precious Taxpayer Moneys
image:
But Jesus says gays are gross!
Carson-Newman University, a little Southern Baptist school in Jefferson City, Tennessee, aint bout ta cotton to none a them queers and their pregnant slut friends. And yay, the federal government says it doesnt have to, even though it receives federal money! The Federal Government just granted Carson-Newman University a waiver that allows the school to ban gay students, unwed mothers, women whove had an abortion and even students who may be pregnant. [
]
[Dr. Randall OBrien, the universitys president] says he sent a letter back in May asking to be exempt from Title 9, which says colleges are not allowed to discriminate against students. He said, This is who we are our religious principles and in a changing world we want to reaffirm who we are and intend to be.
Aw, isnt that so nice? The worlds changin, the queers are throat-crammin, the ladies all subscribe to the bortion-of-the-month club at Planned Parenthood, and this school is standing athwart all that and stickin to its guns.
But how can this be? Well! Long ago and far away there was this Supreme Court case involving a little corner mom-and-pop crafting store called Hobby Lobby, and that store loved Jesus SO MUCH, it couldnt bear to accidentally spend any of its employers hard-earned moneys on birth control, as that makes Jesus break out in cartoonish tears. And, wouldnt you know it, the Supreme Court said, Yes, youre right, Jesus Tears ARE a good excuse to say you dont want to obey federal law! What could go wrong? Everything, that is what could go wrong. Because that decision encouraged other groups, namely religious schools, to request waivers to disregard the law too.In fact, Andy Birkey reports at The Column that 36 schools have asked for these waivers, and that The Department of Education has granted a waiver to 27 religious colleges and universities in 17 states over the last 18 months.
