SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — The U.S. Department of Education has opened a civil-rights investigation into how LGBTQ students are disciplined at Brigham Young University, a private religious school.

The complaint under investigation came after the school said it would still enforce a ban on same-sex dating even after that section was removed from the written version of the school's honor code, the Salt Lake Tribune reported. Students can be punished for holding hands or kissing someone of the same sex, harsher discipline than that faced by heterosexual couples at the school operated by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

The Feebs are on the job.

Because promoting sodomy is the law, and no religious exemptions.

[stuckinloozeeana]

Hmm...private?

[D Rider]

Need to cancel a few educations here. Not like there isn’t another school in the state.

[Magnum44]

Yeah, I was that too...

Unlike moderns and some of our demented soccer moms, Mormons still understand faggotry is highly disordered.

I guess the Department of Ed is full of coprophiliacs. They should have been defunded decades ago.

The religion founded on immorality ...

Why does the federal government have to get involved in this?

This is a private school, which has codes of behavior, which students must follow , to be allowed to attend that school. Students agree to be bound by these standards.

Are such behavior standards against the law somehow?

You might be suprised. The everyday mormon might recognize that homosexuality is evil, but the mormon leadership has had engagements with gay leaders for years.

Crime rampaging in the cities, police being shot almost daily, and the FBI is doing this?

Goodbye tenth amendment.

We haven’t needed you for quite a while anyway.

This religion teaches Blasphemy (that our creator was once a man and that men can become gods). So; who cares about their petty kerfuffles over Sodomy.

[Scarlett156]

That was my first thought. Is there some threat to the USA in this? Why aren’t they busting terrorists planning mass murder, cartels promoting human and drug trafficking, or at least racketeering operations? Schools having rules - OH NO!!

“So; who cares about their petty kerfuffles over Sodomy.”

because if the government can dictate to them it can do it to any religious institution. They are the canary in the coal mine.

Easy fix: Stop accepting Pell Grants and Guaranteed Student loans.

Then the Feds have zero access to student life. .

Morality is not allowed in Communism.

The official position, I am told is, seek counseling if you have the impulses but don't act on them.

One by one Progressives are steadily dehumanizing people by pretendong basic realities of human nature do not exist. Today they assert that that two guys kissing is interchangeable with a guy and a girl kissing. Tomorrow they will lose the distinction between a male walking into a women's locker room rather than a woman. They will insist we pretend that the natural uncomfortableness these things cause most humans is abnormal and a flaw. That we are each an abstract block of society rather than complex social and sexual rational animals with certain built in characteristics including profound differences between the sexes.

BYU has to get ready to cut off all federal funding, including Federal Student Loans. Jillsdale, Christendom College and a few others have done that, and it provides a great deal protection.

[Salman]

Why does the federal government have to get involved in this?

The pretext is they get federal money, by way of guaranteed student loans if nothing else.
