To wit, in the University of Texas at Austin, it was (it still is?) perfectly acceptable for someone to add religious activities in their CV in order to "make it stronger". <br /><br />Religion has nothing to do with universities and should be left out.

The school said, not the point of this training is to ensure you can counsel anyone: it is your behavior not your beliefs we are concerned with. The judge agreed with the school.David Margoliesnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20067416.post-64855295133075234882010-08-06T13:13:09.761-04:002010-08-06T13:13:09.761-04:00Oops let me try again: link to GetreligionOops let me try again: <a href="http://www.getreligion.org/?p=40117" rel="nofollow">link to Getreligion</a>Stoonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20067416.post-3736442627210957562010-08-06T12:30:22.524-04:002010-08-06T12:30:22.524-04:00Stoo:
