NAS Supports Freedom of Speech and Conscience in Keeton v. Anderson-Wiley

Dec 10, 2010 |

The National Association of Scholars (NAS) filed a friend-of-the-court brief in the case Keeton v. Anderson-Wiley. The NAS calls on the Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals to reverse the decision of the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Georgia, refusing to enjoin Augusta State University from expelling counseling student Jennifer Keeton, for expressing her religious views on homosexuality. After learning that Keeton believes homosexuality is a choice, not a "state of being," the university ordered her to participate in "remediation activities," which included "diversity sensitivity" training and a gay pride parade.  When she refused, she was expelled from Augusta State's counseling program.
