ChristianPost.com reports that a student is suing a Los Angeles City College professor for discriminating against his beliefs in a speech on marriage. The student, Jonathan Lopez, spoke about how God has worked in his life and about marriage being defined as between one man and one woman. THe professor cursed at him and dismissed the class early when no one left for being offended by the speech. The report continues:
On the paper, the professor wrote several comments including, "Ask God what your grade is" and "Proselytizing is inappropriate in public school."
"Public institutions of higher learning cannot selectively censor Christian speech," said ADF Senior Counsel David French. "America's public universities and colleges are supposed to be a 'marketplace of ideas,' not a hotbed of intolerance."
Though not entirely surprising, this is saddening. Professors, more and more, are forgetting what college should be about (learning certain subjects, preparing for a career and most importantly, learning how to learn) and instead pushing their own agenda. Seemingly, tolerance only covers certain belief systems.
