MARQUETTE U. FIRES PROF. MC ADAMS

    I just heard the news.  Marquette University in Milwaukee, a Jesuit founded university, joined the politically correct march toward tyranny.  In an ethics class last year a teaching assistant, who is also a graduate student at Marquette, would not permit a student in her class to raise the issue of gay marriage.  The teaching assistant told her student that to debate the issue in class might be offensive to any gays in her classroom.  She would not permit "homophobia" to be uttered in her class.  The student who was not permitted to debate the issue, or even raise the issue in her class, approached the teaching assistant after that class and recorded her remarks.
    Prof. McAdams then publicized the incident on his blog, The Warrior.  Even the name of the blog is an affront to Marquette, for the university logo was once the Warrior, until political correctness demanded that it change for an Amerindian mascot to "the golden eagles."  During the Christmas vacation, Prof. McAdams, a tenured professor who has taught at Marquette for 37 years, was banned from campus.
   Today, I heard he has been fired.
   Terrible!
   I do not agree with McAdams on the Kennedy assassination (he is, however, a scholar on the subject) and I probably disagree with him on many other issues.  But in firing this professor of political science, MARQUETTE CRUSHES ACADEMIC FREEDOM ON ITS CAMPUS.  Sad.
    I hope McAdams sues Marquette, wins, and helps to restore freedom to American universities.
