A few years back, a professor at a liberal Catholic college told me that he would never quote Pope Francis’s teachings on family and sexuality in his classes, for fear that one of his students would report him to the administration for anti-LGBT bigotry, and that the administration would punish or even fire him. I heard from three other professors who teach there who agreed with him. Sounds crazy, right? Well, here’s a story for you.
This evening, there was a scheduled a campus march at Providence College in Rhode Island, in which students were to have stand firm against a witch Catholic RA who attempted to poison the students’ mind by posting the above presentation to a bulletin board in his dorm. The march may well have been canceled because the college offices closed due to inclement weather. According to a report in The Cowl, the student newspaper:
On Thursday, March 2, a bulletin board promoting marriage between one man and one woman was created by Resident Assistant Michael Smalanskas ’18 on the second floor of St. Joseph Hall at Providence College. Soon after, it was photographed and spread across campus via social media.
The bulletin board was taken down that night by students acting on their own accord, but was put up again the Sunday evening that students returned from spring break. However, this time it bore a message stating its approval from Vice President of Student Affairs Kristine Goodwin, despite the lack of any school policy that requires topic approval for bulletin boards, even through Residence Life.
The Board of Multicultural Student Affairs took up the controversy at its weekly meeting. More:

This makes no sense. Popie is all about LGBTQXYZs.
What part of ‘Catholic’ do they not understand?...................
Where are the bishop and the board of trustees?
I think that’s a typo, I think they meant Pope Benedict because Pope Francis is all “whom am I to judge?”...
I remember when college campuses were a place to discuss and test social theories in an open and respectful manner, not bastions of intolerance. If a group of homosexuals wanted to posit their ideas on single-sex marriage, the rest of us politely listened, perhaps offered some counter-arguments, then allowed those attending to make up their own minds.
At my university, the famed atheist Madelyn Murray O’Hair used to regularly come and preach atheism in her bombastic and profane manner but we politely listened and sometimes challenged what she had to say but she was never booed or shut down.
College life is a time to challenge our assumptions, no matter how loony they might be. It was a time to think through and understand what you believed in and why so you could articulate it later.
It is disgusting to me that the Left tries to censor speech they don’t like as if this was a Soviet gulag. They are creating a mindset far from the one I was raised in. We are not allowed to challenge their dogma. Those that do are subject to all forms of punishment and dismissal.
“I think that’s a typo, I think they meant Pope Benedict because Pope Francis is all “whom am I to judge?”...”
And the global warming scam.
Yes, that makes sense.
The left wins by bullying. There is never a reasoned presentation of different points of view; just
shutting down the opposition.
Burn the witch!
Throw it in a pond!
But which one is the witch?
The one with the Hillary! sticker!
One of the latest proofs that today’s colleges teach nothing of value. Indeed, they teach all that is dark and negative - sacrilegious, immoral, hate filled, evil Fascist values. They should avoid the outrageously expensive cost of college, go to a trade school, learn a skill, and become a positive productive addition to society. There are alternatives.
Good point. I’m always surprised when he says something orthodox.
