U Of Ill Prof Fired For "Hate Speech"

The Roman Catholic Church has done little of any substance to prove the perception wrong, thus they get to enjoy its benefits.

 

So what you are saying is that it doesn't matter if it's correct, only if it's fair to be incorrect about them?

 

At this point the Roman Catholic Church deserves the benefit of the doubt on nothing.

 

So by that rationale, everyone of Muslim faith should be judged only by the actions suicide bombers?

 

Most major Muslim leaders have at least expressed disapproval of suicide bombers.

Most Roman Catholic leaders have expressed disapproval that the mean nasty heathen media keeps picking on them.

 

Oh, bullshit.

This isn't anymore a symptom of "liberal blowhards," as you like to call them, than it is a symptom of ultraconservative Christians who think every little thing is an assault on their religion.

We're a nation full of people that hate to hear what the other side thinks, and that goes for both sides. And it's ridiculous.

 

Ace - the full e-mail is available online. It's pretty clearly an expanded discussion of the pros and cons of utilitarianism from a Catholic point of view and very much sounds like an expanded class lecture.

I'm about as liberal as they come in terms of "teachers should not force their personal beliefs on students," but firing him over this is a little absurd. If you're taking a course about a specific religion, you're going to have to deal with the arguments that religion has for its beliefs and deal with that on an academic level.

 

The point is that a person ought to be free to express their opinion on a subject, regardless of whether or not its popular or not. No one has to agree, but stating one's opinion should not be cause to be fired, regardless of what said opinion happens to be.

As for me, I have no use for the faggots, either.

 

You're a pathetic piece of trash Mark. Your life must very sad and lonely.

 

OK. Then I agree that it's over the line to fire someone for that and to construe it as hate speech.

 

This is the dumbest post in the history of stupidity.

 

I think Starman was an altar boy. Cut him some slack.
