6th Circuit to EMU: ‘Tolerance is a two-way street’
ADF attorneys represent Michigan graduate student expelled for her beliefs

In a strongly worded opinion, the court reversed a district court decision in favor of the university and sent the case back for trial, saying “a reasonable jury could conclude that Ward’s professors ejected her from the counseling program because of hostility toward her speech and faith….” Full news release, quotes, and related media resources available at the following link:
