A British court overturned a lower court's ruling supporting a university's decision to bar a student from his social work graduate program for a Facebook posting that said homosexuality was a sin, the BBC reported. The University of Sheffield blocked Felix Ngole from the program after he posted that "the Bible and God identify homosexuality as a sin." The university argued that his views disqualified him for a professionally oriented degree in which he might work with gay people; Ngole argued in his lawsuit that the decision violated his rights to free speech and religion as a devout Christian.
A lower court ruled that Sheffield acted lawfully, but the appeals court ordered the university reconsider Ngole's case.
