Human rights come first, then law and religion trailing. End of story.

I disagree.
There is the added element of sex between genders. He's not discriminating against a woman, because she's a woman; he's choosing not to be put in a situation that might lead to sex outside of marriage.
You might not agree with his ultra-conservative views, but I think you're misrepresenting them.
Honestly, people are making too big of an issue out of this story. He asked a teacher if his religious views could be accommodated. The correct approach would be to see if their was a practical solution. If not, tell him no. It's then up to the student if he wants to stay in the class/university of GTFO.
Instead, this is being turned into some kind of witch hunt.
