In this situation, the employer gave no opportunity to the applicant to agree or disagree with their culture. They made an unfair assumption about her ideology.

Just to add, some employment ethics agreements go beyond just drunkenness. The one I work for includes practicing environmentally sustainable activities for example.
and she agreed with the covenant of the school. the covenant of the school is discriminatory. therefore she agreed with the discrimination of the covenant.

any assumptions they make are fair. was just dumb on their part to tell her why, simply tossing the resume in the trash and not responding to her would have been the best route.
