Imkime ir pasinagrinėkime panelės Keeton ieškinį:E_on wrote:gal konkreciai zinai kaip sita siaubune motera ketino traumuoti ir zaloti jaunu geju gyvenimus (o gal jau taip dare? ) kad jau pateikineji analogus su jehoviskais?
Panelei Keeton buvo sudarytas "Remediation Plan" (berods, kažkas panašaus į papildomą individualų mokymo planą)Dr. Anderson-Wiley first stated that the faculty would like to see Miss Keeton’s writing skills improve and that she would need to take an English Composition class.
Dr. Anderson-Wiley then reported to Miss Keeton that the faculty is concerned with certain of Miss Keeton’s beliefs and views that she has shared in class and with other students pertaining to GLBT (Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, and Transgender) issues.
The written Remediation Plan given Miss Keeton presents two areas of required improvement. One identifies that her written assignments need to improve in technical-grammatical and organizational quality, and requires certain remediation steps to be taken. The second identifies as professionally suspect her views on homosexuality and transgendered persons.
The Remediation Plan, at page 3, states as follows:
Another equally important question that has arisen over the last two semesters is Jen’s ability to be a multiculturally competent counselor, particularly with regard to working with gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, and queer/questioning (GLBTQ) populations. Jen has voiced disagreement in several class discussions and in written assignments with the gay and lesbian “lifestyle.” She stated in one
paper that she believes GLBTQ “lifestyles” to be identity confusion. This was during her enrollment in the Diversity Sensitivity course and after the presentation on GLBTQ populations.
Reiškias, situacija tokia. Panelė ne vien turi nuomonę, kad homoseksualumas - "gyvenimo būdas", bet ir domisi "conversion therapy" - taip anglų kalba vadinamos įvairios praktikos, kurių tikslas - pertaisyti homoseksualius žmones į heteroseksualius; šiais laikais jomis užsiima įvairaus plauko religinės organizacijos, žadančios pagydymą "through the power of Jesus Christ". Nesunku suprasti, kad jai dirbant mokyklos psichologe gali nutikti istorija, panaši į šitą.Faculty have also received unsolicited reports from another student that [Miss Keeton] has relayed her interest in conversion therapy for GLBTQ populations, and she has tried to convince other students to support and believe her views.
The faculty members in the Remediation Plan further opine that Miss Keeton’s views depart from what “the psychological research about GLBTQ populations asserts,” viz., that “sexual orientation is not a lifestyle or choice, but a state of being.”
The faculty members also stated in the Remediation Plan their opinion that psychological research reveals that conversion therapy is ineffective and may be harmful. The faculty members additionally note in the Remediation Plan that the American Psychological Association in 1973 removed homosexuality from its list of mental disorders.
Todėl panelei Keeton ir buvo rekomenduota šiek tiek praplėsti akiratį:
O dabar - vyšnia ant kokteilio:Jen will attend at least three workshops prior to the end of the fall 2010 semester which emphasize improving cross-cultural communication,
developing multicultural competence, or diversity sensitivity training toward working with GLBTQ populations. She will provide to her advisor evidence in the form of attendance certificates.
Jen will continue to develop her knowledge base on GLBTQ issues by outside reading on the topic. She will read at least ten articles in peer-reviewed counseling or psychological journals that pertain to improving counseling effectiveness with GLBTQ populations. There is much research available on the ALGBTIC [Association for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender Issues in Counseling] webpage under Resources.
Jen will work to increase exposure and interaction with gay populations. One such activity could be attending the Gay Pride Parade in Augusta. She will report on these interactions in her reflections (below).
Taigi, jei kažkas įsivaizduoja, kad po tokių pareiškimų panelė Keeton gali dirbti psichologe, tai kodėl psichiatru negalėtų dirbti žmogus, tikintis, kad psichinės ligos - tai apsėdimas, ir ketinantis jas gydyti švęstu vandeniu? Kodėl turėtume diskriminuoti jį dėl jo tikėjimo?Dr. Anderson-Wiley, holding her hands out to represent the two options, told Miss Keeton that she had a choice of standing by the Bible or by the ACA (American Counseling Association) Code of Ethics.
Miss Keeton stated if there is no middle ground that conforms to both, her fidelity is to the Bible.
P.S. Atkreipiu dėmesį, kad visa medžiaga, kurią pateikiau - iš panelės Keeton ieškinio. Neabejoju, kad atsakovų pateiktoje medžiagoje rastume kur kas įdomesnių faktų, nei tie, kuriuos selektyviai išdėstė ieškovė.
