Form Validation Issues

Hi,

I have an issue with a particular if statement when I check 3 form fields 
for their value.  The problem is no matter what input is entered in the 
fields the output is the same.  I only added the 3 fields in question of the 
form to reduce heartache for the readers of this post.

Output always reads:
Please correct the following "State" fields.  Example: Enter state as 
Illinois or IL not ILLINOIS.
Consumer State

School State

Store State

The code is:
<?php
$label_array = array ("conName" => "Consumer Name",
     "conAddress" => "Consumer Address",
     "conCity" => "Consumer City",
     "conState" => "Consumer State",
     "conZip" => "Consumer Zip Code",
     "conPhone" => "Consumer Phone",
     "schName" => "School Name",
     "schAddress" => "School Address",
     "schCity" => "School City",
     "schState" => "School State",
     "schZip"  => "School Zip Code",
     "strName" => "Store Name",
     "strCity" => "Store City",
     "strState" => "Store State");

//check data fields for correct data
foreach($_POST as $field => $value)
{
    if($field == "conState" || $field == "schState" || $field == "strState") 
//if these 3 fields are entered
   {
   if($value != 'Alabama' || $value!= 'AL' || $value != 'Alaska' || $value!= 
'AK' || $value != 'Arizona' || $value!= 'AZ' || $value != 'Arkansas' ||

         {
           $state[$field] = "badstate"; //then
         }
  }//end check
}

 if(@sizeof($state) > 0)  //check size of array and display error message
 {
     echo "<div class='ermess1'><br />Please correct the following \"State\" 
fields.&nbsp;&nbsp;Example: Enter state as Illinois or IL not 
ILLINOIS.</div>";

  foreach($state as $field => $value) // display the fields where input is 
incorrect
  {
   echo "&nbsp;&nbsp;<div>{$label_array[$field]}</div>";
  }
 }

echo " <link href='css/SOS.css' rel='stylesheet' type='text/css' />
