Fired Pro-Marriage Prof Who Beat Catholic Univ. in Court: My Return to Teaching Will be ‘Triumphal’

MILWAUKEE, Wisconsin, July 27, 2018 (LifeSiteNews) – Professor John McAdams looks forward to his return to the classroom after prevailing in court recently against Marquette University.

The Wisconsin Supreme Court ruled July 6 that the Catholic University was wrong to suspend the tenured professor over his 2014 post exposing a Marquette graduate instructor’s efforts to quash one of her undergrad students’ speech in defense of marriage in her class. The state's Supreme Court reversed a lower court decision.

The case gained national attention because of its free speech implications. McAdams has been out of the classroom for seven semesters over the matter, unpaid after an initial suspension period.

'Marquette has just flat out lied'

While Marquette continues to claim McAdams violated professional responsibility toward Cheryl Abbate, causing Abbate direct, irreparable harm with his blog post, McAdams maintains he did nothing of the sort, telling LifeSiteNews the blog post is a pretext, and that Marquette has wanted to get rid of him for a long time.

Despite Marquette’s claims that its actions against McAdams have not been about academic freedom or free speech – it is these issues that have brought the case the attention it has had, with nearly a dozen groups having weighed in with amicus briefs.

I hope he puts Marquette on notice that any inkling of hostility will arrive in Court again with some significant financial incentives.
