Look, I KNOW that there are benefits people stand to lose in certain jobs for being terminated rather than laid off or retiring... cut the shit and address the point, nrabroad
the irrelevant details.

He was teaching in his Introduction to Catholicism class why Catholics find homosexuality to be morally wrong and it was determined to be hate speech and he was fired.
 
I'm with you- the university should have the right to hire/fire as they see fit. If he's a good teacher, they're just screwing themselves.
 
No, he was fired for teaching HIS beliefs about homosexuality.

Good. He shouldn't be imparting his beliefs on his class. He should have been doing what he claimed to be doing...teaching the catholic opposition to it.
 
No, I read that. And this is what I saw:



I have had a lrabroad
of correspondence with professors over the years, and I have never once opened an email that began "Unless bla bla bla".

There is at least an opening sentence that is missing. I would wait to pass any judgement before I saw that, because it could easily contain something like "As promised, more on Natural Moral Theory from our discussion in class on Tuesday..."

That is how these types of emails typically begin. That no greeting or introduction, just a bold statement of supposedly 'personal' ideology opens the email...this strikes me as odd. It smells of sensationalism.

I can see connections between what he is saying, Natural Moral whatever, even where he might have gone with it. And it's entirely instructional.

We don't burn books to cater to crazies, so I don't see why we should turn to burning teachers.
 
A Muslim has the DUTY to tear down anything that disagrees with Islam.
You understand as little about Islam as you do about me.

You would make a better engineer than programmer. You aren't as logical as you think you are, and you're stuck on "how it works in theory" and can't seem to grasp how things work in reality. You demonstrate that in numerous posts, and they are brabroad
h quality (ahem) traits of engineers.
