Professor calls student ‘fascist bastard,’ stops speech in favor of traditional marriage

Los Angeles, Calif., Feb 17, 2009 / 11:02 pm (CNA).- A lawsuit has been filed against officials of the Los Angeles Community College District after a professor allegedly censored and threatened to expel a student for his speech about marriage and his Christian faith in a public speaking class.

For his public speaking class under Los Angeles Community College (LACC) Professor John Matteson, Jonathan Lopez spoke on Nov. 24, 2008 about his Christianity. His speech included reading the dictionary definition of marriage and reciting two Bible verses.
Prof. Matteson interrupted Lopez mid-speech, allegedly calling him a “fascist bastard.” He told the other students they could leave if they were offended. When no one left, he dismissed the class.
The Alliance Defense Fund (ADF), which is filing the lawsuit on Lopez’s behalf, made available the evaluation sheet Prof. Matteson gave Lopez. Though giving several high marks, the professor wrote “ask God what your grade is” and “proselytism is inappropriate in public school.”

Isn’t it lovel when people are so tolerant…

It’s funny that censorship like this is one of the marks of a totalitarian state. who’s the real fascist…
 
Wow! What nice language for a professor to use. I see tolerance is a one way street in that classroom. I guess professionalism does not apply in the classroom setting, nor does plurality in discussion.

Quite frankly, it doesn’t matter what was said by the student. The professor’s language and reaction was uncalled for and honestly I am happy that Mr. Lopez spoke up for what he believes in.

Shout the students down - typical liberal professor. Sheesh.

Are they teaching or indoctrinating?
 
I would love to be a juror on this. This student would retire in a style to which he is not accustomed.
