Tenn. School Wins Right to Ban Gays and Women Whove Had Sex: This Is Who We AreThe waiver allows the school to ban LGBT students and anyone else who does not fit their religious ideology.
By David Edwards / Raw Story December 10, 2015
A Tennessee university has been granted the right by the federal government to ban students who go against their interpretation of Christianity.
Carson-Newman University President Dr. Randall OBrien told WVLT that he had filed for a Title IX exemption from the federal government because his attorney recommended it.
The waiver allows the school to ban pregnant students, women who have had an abortion, single mothers, LGBT students and anyone else who does not fit their religious ideology.
