Christian Schools Research Paper
In the article we read there was a conflict between the government and two Christian schools. The government was putting pressure on the schools to accept a rule about LGBTQ issues that went against Christian beliefs. I think that when it comes to honoring government rules it should depend on whether the school is religious or non religious. If the school is non-religious there is no obligation to honor a certain religious lifestyle, thus it is completely ok to honour an LGBTQ lifestyle.

Therefore, a GSA can be formed because there are no specific religious values set that everyone has to agree on to join the school so different beliefs can be expressed and supported. However, in a religious school where one lifestyle is expressed and supported it is not fair for the government to tell those at the school to go against their beliefs and the lifestyle supported. At that school they support a different lifestyle than the LGBTQ and they don't want to support a GSA because it's against the lifestyle being supported at the school. …show more content…
I think when the government passed the "Ministerial" act they didn't think of the fact that Christian schools couldn't honour it according to the lifestyle supported at that school. The government also failed to see that since the Christian schools could not honour the bill LGBTQ students would feel discriminated against. When the government created this Bill they were so focused on protecting the rights of the LGBTQ that they created a reverse discrimination effect against the Christian schools. -Lachlan

    Smith V. California's Unruh Act

    Similar to this case, Mr. Smith can argue that he is not discriminating against gays but he refuses to be involved with something that in his religion is considered “immoral and ungodly purpose.” He can also challenge California’s Unruh Act and call out the Fourteen Amendment because this law is forcing to abandon his freedom of religion. In the Fourteen Amendment, Section 1, states that “No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States…[and] deprive any person of life, liberty, or property”(US. Constitution, Amendment XIV, Sec 1). This means that California has no right to force him to follow a law that violates his liberty to enforce his practice of religion. Alike, Davis, for Mr. Smith, refusing to provide services to gay couples, is part of the practice of his religion. On the other hand, Adam and Steve would claim that Mr. Smith is using freedom of religion as an excused to discriminate against them because of their sexual orientation. As stated before, the Unruh Act states that all persons of the state of the California are free, equal, and cannot be denied access to business’ services because of sexual orientation, race,…

    Boy Scouts Case Summary

    This is hard case to deal with because there are not many laws that will protect the LGBT group. There are tricky ways in which the law can be walked around it. In this case of homosexual discrimination the law looked on the discrimination part, but they took a turn where they made it seem as if the Boys Scout organization was having their right of free expression and association violated and this made them get out of the trouble they were in before. After doing this research I have learned more about the LGBT society and the amount of discrimination they are going through. More than that I am surprised how can the law be manipulated to make it seem as if the LGBT society is not being discriminated but organizations have the right to decide who do they let in or not without considering the person. This is extremely hard to analyze but I am glad that I took a chance to go in depth and draw my own conclusions and learn how laws are put in…

    They believe that laws like this would allow discriminatory actions by businesses. For example, because In N Out is a religious based company, they can refuse to give services to anyone that claims they are gay if In N Out believes that is against their religion to serve them. Similar laws like this will also allow individuals to discriminate against whomever they want as long as they believe is required by their religion. This reasons stands because the constitution was created to protect people from discrimination on the basis of race, gender, age, religion, ethnicity,…

    Prop 8

    Charles LiMandri describes in his article how the effects of legalized gay marriage are affecting the impression of traditional marriage and also affecting schools. LiMandri talks about how legalizing gay marriage also elevates gay couples to the highest position under the law know as a “protected class.” By doing this, anytime an individual, church, teacher or business collide with the desires of a same-sex couple, actions can be instantly defined as discrimination. LiMandi also touches base with the fact that if this proposition is passed, gay couples will not just stop there but continue on in effecting our schools and what our children are taught.…

    Asian American issue

    This lead to the ballet initiative 2 in 1998 in Hawaii. “Amendment to ban same sex marriage.” The yes vote was “no to gay marriage” and the no vote was “yes to gay marriage.” (Which made it a little confusing). A bunch of interest group played a big role in this. The movement to legalize same sex marriage failed in Hawaii because of how much the impacts of special interest groups. First off, JACL interest group voted no based on discrimination. The Japanese in Hawaii voted no as a block. Native Americans voted Yes on this ballet because they believed it would affect tourism and threaten sovereignty. The Gay/Lesbian voted no obviously base on their self interest discrimination. The Religious group voted yes on…

    The connection between the discrimination of same-sex marriage and traditional marriage is obvious throughout the article. The “religions” figures or those who are supporting this act, are not taking into consideration that if they stand in a church and preach that God forgives all sins, and believes that everyone has a purpose and was created in the likeness of God, then would they might look like hypocrites to those who are against what they…

    The Civil Partnership Act

    The Employment Equality (Sexual Orientation) Regulations 2003 prevents employees being discriminated against on the grounds of their sexual orientation. Further information about these regulations and their impact on Higher Education Institutions’ Equality and Diversity agenda can be found in the ECU publication Employing People in Higher Education: Sexual Orientation. These regulations, however, did not prevent institutions from providing different benefits for employees who were married, and those who were not. For example, a benefit could be offered to the spouse of an employee, but those benefits would not have to be extended to the same sex partner of an employee. General best practice recommends that Higher Education Institutions do not discriminate in this way, but there has been no legal imperative to do so in relation to same sex couples, until the introduction of the Civil Partnership Act.…

    Should The National Policy On Religion And Education Supports The SACE Code Of Conduct?

    The Policy stipulates the importance for educators to teach pupils about the rich variety of religions in our country and in the world, but it is of equal importance for the educator to do so without discrimination or stereotyping a specific religion. With reference to paragraph 30 of the introduction to the Policy on Religion and Education, the policy states, “Schools must create an overall environment – a social intellectual, emotional, behavioural, organizational, and structural environment – that engenders a sense of acceptance, security, and respect for pupils with differing views. This shows how the policy supports respecting the beliefs of each person’s beliefs very much the same as the SACE code of…

    Gay Rights Essay

    If people try to ban clubs in college based on homosexual preference, they will be closing out many other clubs to come. For example, according to the Bible study groups, "The banning of homosexual clubs is a good idea, but not a logical one. It is a step backwards for our bible study clubs, it will only cause them to lash out and close down our groups, too (www.family.org)."� For every club out there based on sexual preference there are one hundred clubs that focus on bible study. Since bible study clubs are just as controversial as homosexual ones, they are worried that if the banning of those clubs happens, they will be next. To empower school officials to close down and ban clubs based on homosexual preference is a marvelous thought, but it empowers them to shut down appropriate clubs like the bible study groups. In addition, the Lesbian Gay Bisexual and Transgendered group, also the LGBT has said that, "Any club/organization or school discrimination against homosexual clubs and organizations will lose funding, travel funds, meeting place and right to have a club on campus immediately (www.leaderu.com//marco)."� This is a comfort to the clubs of homosexuals because their rights on campuses are protected. Conversely, it is a discomfort to the clubs who do not support their ideas and ways of thinking because now they are forced to at least pretend to be supportive of those clubs. This is not sensitive to the idea that this may bring…
