Augusta State U. Is Accused of Requiring a Counseling
Student to Accept Homosexuality
Peter Schmidt
CHRONICLE OF HIGHER EDUCATION 7/14/2010
|
A graduate
student in school counseling is accusing Augusta State
University in federal court of violating her
constitutional rights by demanding that she work to change
her views opposing homosexuality.
In a lawsuit filed on Wednesday in the U.S. District Court
in Augusta, Ga., the student, Jennifer Keeton, argues that
faculty members and administrators at the university have
violated her First Amendment rights to free speech and the
free exercise of religion by threatening her with
expulsion if she does not fufill requirements contained in
a remediation plan intended to get her to change her
beliefs.
Ms. Keeton's lawsuit accuses the university of being
"ideologically heavy-handed" in imposing the requirements
on her "simply because she has communicated both inside
and outside the classroom that she holds to Christian
ethical convictions on matters of human sexuality and
gender identity." It argues that her views, which hold
that homosexual behavior is immoral and that homosexuality
is a chosen lifestyle, would not interfere with her
ability to provide competent counseling to gay men and
lesbians.
An Augusta State spokeswoman, Kathy D. Schofe, declined on
Thursday to comment on the litigation, saying that the
university had not yet been served with the lawsuit and
officials there would need time to devise a response.
Ms. Keeton is being represented by lawyers affiliated with
the Alliance Defense Fund, a coalition of Christian
lawyers. The group has brought a similar lawsuit on behalf
of an Eastern Michigan University graduate student who
alleges she was dismissed from a counseling program for
her beliefs about homosexuality. In 2006 the group
extracted major concessions from Missouri State University
in settling a lawsuit filed by a former social-work
student who refused to respect a class project's
requirement that she sign a letter to the state
legislature in support of homosexual adoption.
In a news release announcing the lawsuit against Augusta
State, David French, senior counsel for the Alliance
Defense Fund, said: "A public-university student shouldn't
be threatened with expulsion for being Christian and
refusing to publicly renounce her faith, but that's
exactly what's happening here. Simply put, the university
is imposing thought reform."
The lawsuit says Ms. Keeton has stated in classroom
discussions and written assignments that she believes
sexual behavior "is the result of accountable personal
choice," that people are born male or female, and that
homosexuality is a lifestyle and not a "state of being."
It says faculty members at Augusta State confronted her
about her beliefs based on such statements and on a
student's claim that Ms. Keeton has advocated "conversion
therapy" for homosexuals in conversations with her
peers—an allegation that Ms. Keeton denies.
The lawsuit says Augusta State faculty members developed a
remediation plan specifically for Ms. Keeton and told her
she would be expelled from the College of Education's
counselor-education program if she did not fulfill its
requirements. The plan calls on Ms. Keeton to attend
workshops on serving diverse populations, read articles on
counseling gay, lesbian, and bisexual and transgendered
people, and write reports to an adviser summarizing what
she has learned. It also instructs her to work to increase
her exposure to, and interaction with, gay populations,
and suggests that she attend the local gay-pride parade.
Ms. Keeton has refused to comply. |
