To prohibit firing or disciplining an employee who is paid to provide counseling services if the individual refuses to counsel a client as to goals that conflict with the employee’s sincerely held religious belief or moral conviction, as long as he or she refers the client to a counselor who will provide the counseling. Also, a college or university would be prohibited from disciplining or discriminating against a student in a counseling program for a conscientious objection to counseling against principles.
