It would appear to someone who has lived behind the Zion curtain most of my life, but have traveled the world that the Mormon Church, the “Christian? Right” and the republician party are with the passage of time losing many of their followers. It would appear that the younger generation, and the “silent majority” are more liberal than the church and politician, who really are in bed together would like us to believe.

Their hidden agenda is simply to control and force others to follow their beliefs. What happened to the Mormon’s professed belief in free agency and the constitution’s guarenty of equal protection under the law and liberty for all?

Well guess BYU won’t get confused for Harvard anytime soon…:)

Seriously, I don’t like to paint people with a broad brush but after reading this story if I’m hiring for an entry level position and a BYU grad were a candidate I’d need more time in an interview to ask in-depth the following:

1. Are you able to work with co-workers who are gay or lesbian?
2. Are you able to work for a manager who is gay or lesbian?
3. In general are you able to work with and cooperate with others of different races, cultures, or beliefs?
4. Given BYU’s mostly White student population, how comfortable are you working in multi-ethnic, religously pluralistic office setting?

I hope the views presented in the article are a minority or else these kids will be in for the shock to the system when they leave the confines of Utah.
