Intolerant tolerance.
The Law Society of Upper Canada says it will not allow graduates from Trinity Western University practice law in Ontario.
why do you ask? Simple, TWU requires it's students to sign a community covenant. In that covenant, the students agree not to have sex outside of "Biblical Marriage". For that reason there, the Law Society of Upper Canada will not allow TWU graduates to practice law in Canada. Is what he society done legal? Nope, but it forces TWU to fight the Society in Court and spend money unnecessarily instead of using that money for the kids education.
Remember, this is a private Christian University. The students going in know this and the vast majority of them are Christian themselves.
This IS discrimination.
