This bill allows students in counseling, psychology, and social work programs at Tennessee public universities to opt out of serving clients based on prejudice using the excuse of religious beliefs.  It is bad for clients because it adds stigma at a time when they need help, bad for students because they don't learn to serve the full range of clients, and bad for the programs at our public universities because it sets them against national standards of professionalism and care.
