The University of Illinois has fired an adjunct professor who taught courses on Catholicism after a student accused the instructor of engaging in hate speech by saying he agrees with the church's teaching that homosexual sex is immoral.
The professor, Ken Howell of Champaign, said his firing violates his academic freedom. He also lost his job at an on-campus Catholic center.
Howell, who taught Introduction to Catholicism and Modern Catholic Thought, says he was fired at the end of the spring semester after sending an e-mail explaining some Catholic beliefs to his students preparing for an exam.
"Natural Moral Law says that Morality must be a response to REALITY," he wrote in the e-mail. "In other words, sexual acts are only appropriate for people who are complementary, not the same."

This is the logical conclusion of the homosexual agenda; if you embrace sodomy you reject Christianity, period.
Hmmmm...gee, I wonder if the university would fire a Muslim professor for holdng the same view.
I fully expect that one day a bunch of faggots will beat down my door and kill me, or someone who thinks/speaks/looks like me. ‘Course, I’ll mow down six of them on the way, and so there’s a good side to the story.
No longer a rule of law. This evil despotism.
No longer a rule of law. This evil despotism.
So, evidently, no Catholic, no Christian of any kind will be allowed to teach a course on Catholicism.

How dare this man try and teach the truth..
Well what do you expect from the University system that hired Ayres and Obama?
This is essentially make it illegal on the basis of “hate speech” and “hate crimes” to be Catholic.
Let me see if I understand this. The University of Illinois hired an instructor to teach Catholic doctrine, but when he taught Catholic doctrine, he was fired for teaching Catholic doctrine. The Peter Principle is alive and well.

So that's what happened to him. On the "'religious' 'studies'" department of a state university as relentlessly secular as they come.
OOps - I posted this article about 10 minutes after you did.
Sorry!
Should they be merged or anything?
Here’s mine, I pinged both lists to it:

Persecution of Catholics and Christians is alive and well, isn’t it?
I’m not quite buying this story. Feels like something is missing here, and certainly the email contents are missing.
This story as printed wouldn’t hold up in court and the prof isn’t raising much of a fuss.
Alumni money speaks volumes.
The alumni need to know about this.
For example, my wallet remains slammed shut to Penn State for several reasons, including its coddling of “global warming” scammer Michael Mann, and its throwing out the red carpet at every turn for the gerbil crowd.
