Philosophy is supposed to be about the hatred of religion not the support of it. This professor committed an outrage to believe he could mix the two.

Atheism is now the established and enforced religion of the community colleges.

"The student complained that Dr. Tuttle mentioned his Catholic beliefs too often for the student's taste and suggested that he be given "counseling for tolerance."

Here is the heart of the conflict-it is the holding of Christian beliefs that is considered 'intolerant'; professing any other belief, including paganism or wishing for the deaths of American soldiers, is considered 'diversity' and free expression.

Arrogant little twit. Should be given a short, sharp physics lab on a manually applied impulse and it's subsequent nasal deformation.

Feminists are not forced to veil their feminism, and Catholic philosophers should be free to be Catholic philosophers

I gotta use that sometime. Great quote.

I think all liberals possess what I call the Hitler gene. They just can't get past the dictator mentality. They want to create a perfect race of people with the same ideological leanings as the creators of those bad Billy Jack movies.

It sounds like the professor was in no way trying to push his ideas or views on his students. He was simply using his faith as an example for the students. By the time people are in college they should be beyond the "oh I get offended if someone expresses an opinion that differs from mine" stage. Academia today is hell bent on trying to advocate "tolerance" and "open mindedness" so therefore why should a professor be punished for expressing a view that is different. The little whining brat who issued the complaint should be open to different opinions. Maybe the student is the one who should heed his own advice and seek counseling on toleration.

Could I have some of my school's Michael Moore-loving professors indicted on similar grounds?
