thedailywhat: This Is All Kinds Of Wrong of the Day: A “Christ-centered” liberal arts university in Rome, Georgia is asking all 200 of its employees to formally reject homosexuality by signing a “Personal Lifestyle Statement.” Shorter University president Don Dowless said any employee who refuses to sign the statement [pdf] — which also requires the rejection of premarital sex and adultery — will be subject to immediate termination. “I think that anybody who adheres to a lifestyle that is outside of what the biblical mandate is and of what the board has passed, including the president, would not be allowed to continue here,” he told Channel 2 Action News. The new policy has many staffers concerned that witch hunts could be launched against them out of spite. “My faith is strong and I recognize that the University has the legal right to do this,” one anonymous gay employee told The GA Voice, “but just because it is legal it isn’t necessarily morally right.” A petition has been posted online by university alumni asking Shorter to stop requiring faculty members to sign the “lifestyle pledge.” [ajc / wsbtv / gavoice / signon.]
