My God, what complete idiots are both the complaining student and the UI administration.

You offer classes on “Catholic” thought, but if the teacher actually teaches what that means, it's the teacher who erred?

You chose to take a class on “Catholic” thought and then you object to being told what it really means?

It's like the patients who run the insane asylum.

Conservatives of all kinds which include faithful believers in God have been trying to deal with the leftist/atheist/secularist/homosexualist (etc) assault on morality and moral absolutes with fairness, civility, and compromise.

If we don’t stop these methods, we’ll end up defeated and in some sort of homo-nazi gulag.

As an adjunct Professor of Humanities who teaches Religion classes at a State Community College, this is a bit disquieting. Not surprising though. Hope he and the ADF presses this case and it sets a strong precedent to protect First Amendment Rights and Academic freedom for ALL professors, despite their political leanings or religious affiliations. Liberty is liberty.

How dare he use reason (which comes from God) against those who treasure reason above God. He makes too much sense and therefore must no longer teach impressionable students!

And let institutions of higher learning [sic] fund themselves. Why should our tax money be paying for this?

That would require people with backbones in high places. We don’t have them.

“Let me have a steak and cheese sub....hold the steak and hold the cheese.”

You said it better than I and with humor. I applaud you.

And, having received the best chuckle of the day, I retire for the day. Thanks.

Now that's an idea that Hollyweird might do something with. Unfortunately.

It appears that the persecution of any Catholic or Christian who teaches moral truth has begun! Or shall I say, is continuing?

If the prof is teaching about Catholicism and natural law (which he was hired to do), of course he’s got to teach this. Why did the student take this course, which was obviously purely voluntary, if the student didn’t want to hear about the subject of the course?

Probably for the same reason those "two moms" in Massachusetts wanted to enroll "their child" in a Catholic school...

Unfortunately, continuing, and most likely will get worse before it gets better.
