157 Nancy A AlmodovarIt is the right of schools, esp. religious organizations, to be allowed to make their own policy as to their staff. To ban them from advertising is usurping the authority APA has.

170 Richard WhitingWhat irony that professional philosophers would object to "discrimination" in the best sense of the word (i.e., the morally grounded repudiation of a morally objectionable act) by embracing discrimination in the worst sense of the word (i.e., prejudicial bias against societies holding a particular religious view).

175 Curt R. CratonIt is self-evident that a moral position against certain behavior (homosexual or otherwise) does not constitute discrimination against those who choose to engage in such behavior.

182 S. Alan CorlewAs an independent philosopher, II find it unconscionable that those who wield power in the APA would seek to silence and thus marginalize voices that speak from a different perspective.

199 Winfried CorduanThe policy proposed by its advocates would, in fact, be an act of discrimination, favoring those who share their view. It seriously curtails the freedom of those institutions who treasure their religious heritage over the conveniences brought about by the APA, and it would hurt the APA more in the long run than implementing this amputative policy. Remember that any action restricting freedom in any one direction, once conceded, eventually restricts the freedom in both directions. To demand that you must not do X, frequently leads to the obligation that you must do non-X. To stigmatize your supposed opponents means to stigmatize yourself as one in opposition to them. It is best to err on the side of freedom for all and let traditionally religious institutions maintain their practices without those who are advocating the proposed practice branding themselves as preferring a specific view on morality to moral freedom for all. Let institution A hire anyone regardless of their orientation; let institution B restrict its hiring to those who serve best its constituency. It is in diversity that we are best off.
