Canadian Supreme Court: Christian law school can be denied accreditation due to view on marriage In two separate rulings, Canada’s Supreme Court voted 7-2 that law societies could refuse to accredit a proposed law school based its view of sex as being limited to the context of a traditional marriage. What’s the background? Trinity Western University has locations in British Columbia and Ontario, as well as Washington state. TWU, which was founded in 1962, is an evangelical liberal arts institution. The university’s website lists its mission as developing “Godly Christian leaders.” TWU has a “community covenant” for students, which requires students to abstain from sex outside the bonds of traditional marriage between a man and a woman. TWU planned to add a law school to its offering. In April 2014, the Nova Scotia Barrister’s Society Council voted to keep potential TWU law students from joining the bar. The society ruled that in order for their students to qualify for the bar, the university needed to either change its community covenant altogether or exempt law students from the covenant. LINK |

Only liberals can choose not to go down the road to widespread, systematic violence. | |
