Dismissed Professor Sues Seminary

Christians should not be suing Christians:

Former professor Sheri Klouda sued Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary March 8, charging fraud, breach of contract and defamation for forcing her out.

Klouda, who was hired in 2002 to teach Hebrew in a tenure-track position at the Fort Worth-based school, lost her job last year -- allegedly because of her gender. She filed the lawsuit in federal court.

Her termination set off a firestorm in the Southern Baptist blogopshere. Klouda's supporters have filed complaints with the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools and the Association of Theological Schools asking them to investigate Southwestern for �a serious breach� of accreditation guidelines in connection with the firing.

Scripture is pretty clear on this:
1 Corinthians 6:7 "To have lawsuits at all with one another is already a defeat for you. Why not rather suffer wrong? Why not rather be defrauded?"
