After the school gave itself a black eye over a rescinded commencement speech invitation to Oscar-winning screenwriter Dustin Lance Black, it announced that the replacement commencement speaker would be Dr. Eric Walsh, Pasadena’s director of public health....
Black, 39, would have been a terrific and inspiring speaker. But PCC President Mark W. Rocha, Deputy Supt. Robert Bell and Pasadena Area Community College Board of Trustees President Anthony Fellow feared that an obscure 2009 incident involving a purloined sex tape featuring Black with a former boyfriend would give the college a “bad name..”
Walsh, the replacement speaker, seems like an accomplished person. His online bio says he has championed maternal and child health issues, violence prevention and is committed to the “highest level of care for individuals infected with HIV.”
He is also a devout Seventh-day Adventist and a proponent of intelligent design who has said that anyone who teaches the theory of evolution is a “Satanist minister” doing “the devil’s handiwork.” /www.latimes.com/local/abcarian/la-me-ra-pasadena-college-commencement-speaker-fiasco-20140429-story.html#axzz30aCUnrpj&page=1
Say anything you want about Christians, conservative Americans and Sarah Palin’s kids but don’t you even think about saying anything negative about “openly gay” homosexuals. They are now a protected species like the Neo Mexican Meadow Rat.
Am I missing something in the article that says Dr. Eric Walsh was inept or didn’t do a good job as Pasadena’s public health director? Where does it point out that his views on homosexuality were affecting his ability to do the job? It sounds like he was blacklisted for having “inappropriate” views unrelated to his actual ability to do the work!
BTW, this is exactly why I’m so opposed to the homosexualists. Homosexuality is both unnatural and sinful, but that’s not the issue so much as where this homosexual “equality” crap is leading the country. The homosexualists see this as a civil rights battle, so they want to do the same things that were done in the past. We’re talking about using the full weight of government to squash anyone who doesn’t applaud homosexuality!
I’m pretty sure the modern homosexual “rights” movement doesn’t want tolerance. They likely find the concept of tolerance to be insulting, as it implies they’re doing something wrong (normal behavior doesn’t need to be tolerated). No. They want dominance, and that, my FRiend, is un-American and must be fought!
So when is this kind of background check going to be part of everybody's employment search? I suspect interviews will have a question on whether or not you agree with the company's diversity statement/policy. Support for homosexuality is becoming a type of 'mark of the beast'.
Christians need not apply.

What right do they have not to hire him?
