I agree, but they are also smart to state this limitation up front... I went to a job interview at a similar institution not knowing how conservative their religious beliefs were, and how I wouldn't fit into their mission. I wasted my time, and the time of two employees who interviewed me. I wish they'd stated their beliefs so bluntly in the job announcement.

They have a right to have whatever employment policies they want, that don't actually violate the law.
They do not, however, have a right to be free of all criticism from those who disagree. In choosing to send their announcement to this list, they did open themselves up to the possibility of disagreement and criticism on this list.

Disagree as you may, it is a private institution and until the Supreme Court says so, they can prefer to hire those who abide by the mission of their institution. My suggestion is ....don't apply for the job.
Flame away!
