The same thing can happen if you tell them that you own guns or vote Republican... If you say that you own guns or support the Second Amendment, they will say that you are threatening them. If you say that you vote Republican (or in Wisconsin support Scott Walker), you are instantly branded a racist, sexist warmonger, and thus are harassing them.
Sounds like it’s the university doing the harrassing by delving into the thoughts/beliefs of its employees.
Group-think thought police...............
Marquette is a Jesuit run ostensibly Catholic university. The Jesuits have devolved into a despicable, unspeakable cabal.
If opposition to a hotly debated political issue is illegal, then political debate is illegal, and we are in a tyranny. Does Marquette really want to foment an uprising?
Marquette is going to have this problem until the local Ordinary wakes up and boots a couple lesbian department heads at MU.
It’s all bull$h!t. Only certain kinds of “offense” count. If a certified victim group member complains his complaint counts. Normal peoples’ complaints don’t count.
Their real problem would be exposed if they claimed wearing a cross was unlawful harassment.
Marquette is a failed academic institution. It embodies everything wrong associated with the Catholic Church.
The ironic thing is that often private “religious” institutions of higher learning are the worst offenders when it comes to academic freedom and free speech rights.
At least at public institutions, there are public oversight mechanism including boards and the legislature. If this free speech violation had occurred at a public institution, the aggrieved party would be able to complain to their state rep, senator, governor, or board of regents.
Although the Milwaukee Archbishop has no direct control of a Jesuit university like Marquette, he has standing with the Catholic community and needs to strongly and unequivocally condemn the university’s actions. But, I won’t hold my breath waiting.
Another day of hey let’s make up a law.
Opposition to heterosexual sex is harassment.

26. Present homosexuality, degeneracy and promiscuity as “normal, natural, healthy.”
27. Infiltrate the churches and replace revealed religion with “social” religion. Discredit the Bible and emphasize the need for intellectual maturity which does not need a “religious crutch.”
Enemies burrowed deep into our society...and this is the result.
