It sounds like some of you guys have no problem with the concept of apparently irrelevant requirements (such extracurricular activities like music for medical schools) nor have much problem with the concept and idea of background checks as long as it doesn't contradict your beliefs and lifestyle.
So for example, you have no problem with the concept of a communist being barred from certain schools and fields during the “red scare” or someone with a pending legal case that may have nothing to do with practicing medicine not getting in to a certain medical school or someone else not getting in to a top university because they might not have enough extracurricular activities, or certain people with certain nationality or political background being barred from certain scientific fields such as nuclear physics. These are all OK with you as long as it doesn’t affect you personally. But if the subject of discrimination happens to be something that affects you (such as religion which you don’t like in this case) then you’re all up in arms about it.
