No state money for Baptist Pharpmacy School

A Kentucky judge has ruled that University of the Cumberlands cannot receive state money for a pharmacy school. The state legislature voted in April 2006 to grant the Southern Baptist–affiliated school $12 million in public funds, but a homosexual rights group and several state legislators sued to stop the disbursement. Franklin County Circuit Court judge Roger Crittenden found that the state legislature's appropriation of the funds violated the state constitution's prohibition against use of public funds for "any church, sectarian, or denominational school."

Thus the state of Kentucky will not support training of pharmacists would learn they should never fill an order for a morning after pill, sell condoms or might question filling a plethora of prescriptions for LGBT people.
