A welcome ruling from British Columbia in the Trinity Western case

Here's the story (thanks to Paul Caron).  I'm not, I confess, entirely optimistic that what I assume will be eventual decision by Canada's Supreme Court will be as good as this one, but I certainly hope I'm wrong.  Here's a bit (which should be required reading for regulators and University administrators here in the United States, too):

In a unanimous decision, a panel of five judges said the negative impact on Trinity Western’s religious freedoms would be severe and far outweigh the minimal effect accreditation would have on gay and lesbian rights.

“A society that does not admit of and accommodate differences cannot be a free and democratic society, one in which its citizens are free to think, to disagree, to debate and to challenge the accepted view without fear of reprisal,” says the 66-page judgment.

“This case demonstrates that a well-intentioned majority acting in the name of tolerance and liberalism can, if unchecked, impose its views on the minority in a manner that is in, itself, intolerant and illiberal.”
