B.C. revokes consent for Christian law school

B.C.'s Minister of Advanced Education has revoked his consent for the proposed law school at Trinity Western University. . . .

The school, which would be built at the university's Langley campus, had become a lightning rod for controversy because of a line in the university’s covenant that requires all students, administrators and faculty to abstain from "sexual intimacy that violates the sacredness of marriage between a man and a woman."

A legal challenged launched against Mr. Virk and TWU by two Canadian law firms said the minister had "created a two-tiered system of legal education" when he granted consent. After some deliberation, the law societies in B.C., Ontario and Nova Scotia all decided not to recognize the school as an approved faculty of law, meaning graduates would not be able to practice in those provinces.

Previously, the law societies of Ontario, British Columbia, and Nova Scotia had voted not to accredit TWU's law faculty, meaning students would not be able to practice law in those provinces. This new action means that the university's law degree program is not allowed to enroll students at all.

Erotic liberty officially trumps religious liberty, at least in B.C.

In Canada, as here, sooner or later we will HAVE to tell the gubmit that we choose what we do, not them.

And we’ll have to back it up with force.

Don’t worry, Canady, we’ve got plenty of chemical-based lead launchers that we’ll give you.

We’ll all be in this together, and the fewer liberals afterwards, the better.

Liberals are the enemy.

Period.

If by liberals you mean government - politicians, lobbyists and bureaucrats, I couldn’t agree more. They are our enemy.

Shocking. Absolutely shocking. And to think we used to get so many lectures about liberty (and the entire western judeo- Christian values tradition) from our Canadian friends.

Well, this is BC, which is kind of like a great big Oregon.
