Federal judge: Always using biological pronouns 'not protected under the First Amendment'
Campus Reform ^ | 2/20/20 | Mary Rose Corkery

Posted on 02/20/2020 12:32:19 PM PST by Maceman

A Shawnee State University philosophy professor's lawsuit over the pronoun he used to address a student has been dismissed.

Professor Nicholas Meriwether, a “professed Evangelical Christian”, was confronted in January 2018 by student Alena Bruening. Bruening said identified as a transgender female and wanted to be addressed by the pronouns she/her/hers. When Meriwether refused to abide by the request, the lawsuit claims, Bruening “became belligerent” and said, “well I guess that means I can call you a c**t.”

"the court’s decision opens the door for them to shift from being a marketplace of ideas to an assembly line for one type of thought"

...

Judge Susan Dlott of the U.S District Court sided with SSU on February 12, saying Meriwether “was not protected under the First Amendment.”

No surpise Clinton judge. You can tell who appointed these Judges by their decisions. Inevitablly a Democrat appointee makes their judgement based on their political ideology

A judge appointed by Bush just "unleashed" (Indirect proxy) a bunch of illegal aliens in Arizona because the condition bestowed upon the Federal government are close to impossible to implement without further lawsuits.

The only team batting 100% is the Democrats. Republicans have appointed a lot of Judicial losers.

You can spend decades as a respected Professor and one day it all goes to hell. All because some psychotic comes in and demands you go along with their mental illness. Sickening.

"Federal Judge"

Too many letters in that first word. The 'de' is extraneous. Should be "Feral Judge".

“No surpise Clinton judge. You can tell who appointed these Judges by their decisions. Inevitablly a Democrat appointee makes their judgement based on their political ideology”

Chief Justice Roberts says that every judge is as pure as wind driven snow and their decisions are not influenced by who appointed them.

Does a case exists where a liberal appointed judge failed to rule according to liberal ideology? Looks like the batting average for liberals is 1000.

On the other hand, conservative appointed judges are known to mature and grow, i.e. vote liberal.

Well, modern American English, "bitch" has become a gender neutral term. Maybe that's what the professor should call the poor offended snowflake. And that bitch of a judge, too.
