The Post-Gazette has the story on a recent decision by Westmoreland County Community College to extract two classes from their non-discrimination language.  Since 2000, Westmoreland County Community College has published notices saying the school will not discriminate against individuals based on various circumstances, including their “sexual orientation” and “union membership.” But the school now says […]
