you can discriminate against them in terms of they don't teach the skills that they require on the job.
And I would say that you are applying a general stereo type when you say I won't hire anyone from there because of the views of the institution.

I'm going to leave it at this just because now it's going in circles:
It has nothing to do with views, or beliefs, or what anyone thinks about gay marriage or anything like that. I don't care if you don't care for gay people or Muslims or love Two and Half Men. Talking about what someone says at a mosque is completely irrelevant in comparison to what the educational institution which granted you your degree (a requirement of the job you're applying for) teaches you and requires you to adhere to.
The school promotes discrimination. Discrimination is ethically wrong and in many cases illegal. Thus, in a business that is very focused on clients and the acceptance of any and all clients regardless of race or gender or sexuality or whatever, I do not deem the education provided at the school to be valuable to our company. My view is reinforced by the fact that all students are made aware of that discrimination and agree to it. That's not a stereotype, that's a fact.
The school practices discrimination, the students sign a form acknowledging the discrimination, and therefore the education received at that institution is without the required value this company looks for when hiring employees.
Like it or not, I can hire you or not hire you based on where you went to school and the education you received. That's what I do. That's what all employers do (especially for hires without extensive experience). We look at your education and make a value judgement. It's no different than if I know an institution's program does a poor job of teaching the things we utilise most. That resume is disregarded.
Maybe that's discrimination... but hey, welcome to hiring, where we discriminate based on education and work experience every single day.
