Punished for not Supporting Homosexuality

We read:

"The lawsuit Brooker v. The Governors of Missouri State University (MSU) was filed on October 30th on behalf of Emily Brooker. The Alliance Defense Fund (ADF), a Christian legal group that advocates religious freedom, accuses tax-funded MSU of retaliating against Brooker because she refused to sign a letter to the Missouri Legislature in support of homosexual adoption. Gay adoption violates Brooker's Christian beliefs.

ADF says the letter violated her First Amendment rights to free speech and freedom of religion; the subsequent 'punishment' violated her Fourteenth Amendment rights to due process and equal protection.

MSU appears to have violated its own free speech policies but is not talking so far. They are saying that she cannot be a social worker unless she holds Leftist political beliefs.
