Catholic Teacher fired for teaching a Catholic position in a Catholic university

9:49 am Christianity, Political Correctness

I am not making this up, and when you read the article, it gets worse. The complainant was not actually in the professor’s class.

Apparently everything is a code word for the oversensitive. And code words are forbidden. But what is code for what? Even to ask the question is insensitive.

Please sue the university for big bucks, Kenneth Howell.

    The really intriguing part of this story is how, other than an early hit on Fox and some AP pickup, it was completely ignored by media. The same claque that sees the long form census as being indicative of anti-science knuckle-draggers apparently has no issues with anti-thought apparatchik pogroms.

    Decision on review to takes weeks and Catholic ties may be severed. No sign whatsoever of ACLU, etc.
