Maryland College Hit With Second Lawsuit Over Rejecting Christian Students

Mark 13:13 “You will be hated by all because of My name, but the one who endures to the end, he will be saved.”

A Maryland community college is again facing a lawsuit for rejecting a student due to his Christian faith.

The American Center for Law and Justice has filed suit against Community College of Baltimore County on behalf of Dustin Buxton after they denied him permission to enter their radiation therapy program.

Buxton had cited his faith during his interview as an applicant.

“During that interview in 2013, Dustin was asked by the CCBC interview panel, ‘What do you base your morals on?’ Dustin replied, ‘My faith,’” ACLJ attorney Michelle Terry outlined in a report this week. “His faith was not mentioned again, yet, in a written review of his interview, the program director, Adrienne Dougherty, stated that Dustin had lost points because ‘[Dustin] also brought up religion a great deal during the interview. Yes, this is a field that involves death and dying; but religion cannot be brought up in the clinic by therapist or students.’”

The ACLJ had filed suit against the same school for denying Brandon Jenkins entry into the same program because of his Christian beliefs.
