If you assume that a Catholic university like Marquette would be a bastion of opposition to gay marriage-think again. That's OK. What is troubling is that a student would be chastised for attempting to voice his opposition to gay marriage when it was brought up in class with the teacher's assumption that everyone supported it.

I still maintain that opposition to gay marriage does not make one homophobic. It just means they believe in the traditional form of marriage between a man and a woman.
Unfortunately, too many professors seem to think that the concept of academic freedom only means that they are free to say whatever they want in the classroom, but not their students.

If my words offend you, your recourse is to offend me right back, not to demand that I refrain from speaking. Likewise, if you offend me, my recourse is to offend you right back. Then we can all go out for lunch, or a beer, or to see a Cubs game, or whatever.
elwood and I demonstrate this bedrock of democracy and free speech all the time, and Findalis also. Gary just sits back and lets the words flow. A good example for this Marquette professor, who appears to need remedial education on "ethics."
