It can. Free exercise includes equal access to public facilities. Making believers objects of mockery impairs their equal access

Wow. That's an expansion of harassment law I haven't heard even from the most virulent feminist or race-baiter. So a teacher can't even mock religion in his private life, because some fundie might dig it out and publicize it?

Fortunately, ou are as ignorant of the law as you are gutless about admitting to your posted threats.

By attempting to make believers objects of mockery, thereby impairing their equal access to the university.

An authoritarian attempt to gag those who disagree with you.

You're not a conservative, you're a fascist.

"That's an expansion of harassment law"

Arrant drivel. It's not an "expansion" of anything. It's a rock bottom component of free exercise of religion--that is, the freedom to openly espouse a religion without fear of persecution.

"So a teacher can't even mock religion in his private life, because some fundie might dig it out and publicize it?"

On his blog, Scott Adams wrote a few paragraphs on Internet debate. This one applies to the statement above: 'Assume the dumbest interpretation. For example, if someone says that he can run a mile in 12 minutes, assume he means it happens underwater and argue that no one can hold his breath that long.'

We're not talking about anyone's "private life" here. We're talking about what this moral leper in professor's garb did in his official capacity as a university employee. The only thing that was even arguably private was his admission of his misconduct. The offense itself shares no such claim.

"Fortunately, ou are as ignorant of the law as you are gutless about admitting to your posted threats."

It is truly disgusting to see such dishonesty here on FR. Accuse someone of saying something he didn't say, and from then on slur him for not "admitting" to your fabrication.

"An authoritarian attempt to gag those who disagree with you."

Buncombe. It is an explanation of why your attempts to gag those who disagree is wrongful.

"You're not a conservative, you're a fascist."

No conservative slings around the "F" word like that. You're a troll, posting under multiple identities.
