Jennifer Keeton (ADF client, Augusta State Univ.)Associated Press - A federal court has upheld a ruling that Augusta State University in Georgia was within its rights to require a graduate school counseling student to keep her biblical views on homosexuals to herself.

Keeton had been asked to complete the plan after she said she believed homosexual behavior was morally wrong and that she would then help such clients change that behavior.
