An outspoken evangelical PhD applies to teach biology at Berkeley. Will CAL discriminate on hiring or not?
An outspoken neo-con Republican applies to work in the DNC. Will the DNC discriminate or not?
A Liberty graduate wants to study under Richard Dawkins...will he take an honest look at their resume or throw it out as soon as he sees Liberty?
Another Liberty graduate applies to work for American Atheists. Is her resume thrown away or given an honest evaluation?
Tom....people who run organizations with specific missions are charged with upholding the CULTURE of said organization and keep it pointing towards the mission.
Our mission = Training Champions for Christ. We therefore are not going to hire atheists in the same way that the GLAAD is NOT, I repeat, NOT going to hire a religion major from Liberty. I am not sure why that is so hard for you to understand....If you are running a non-profit or a business you're going to hire for culture and for fit. You're going to hire people who are on board with what you're doing. If you have a specific culture you want to uphold you're going to hire for it. If that means discriminating against those who do not share your same views....so be it.
This is how it works Tom, on the left, the right, and all in between. This is how it works at GLAAD and Focus on the Family. Neither are wrong. Do you hear me Tom...neither are wrong. If GLAAD wants to discriminate against a Liberty religion major....I'm all for it because I respect their right to keep their mission of equality for the LGBTA community going in the direction they want. It is highly unlikely a Liberty religion major will help in that regard. Likewise Tom, I believe it natural and quite logical that a CHRISTIAN university would hire CHRISTIAN professors, just the same way a Muslim University like
http://www.zaytunacollege.org/ would hire Muslims. It is really not rocket science, Tom.
You seem to be quite anti discrimination...tell me, should GLAAD start to hire outspoken, bible believing evangelicals who want a constitutional amendment for one man / one woman marriage, just to spice up the daily office life? You cannot have it both ways, Tom!
