Students who oppose gay marriage are homophobic, according to an audio recording of a Marquette University instructor who went on to say that gay right issues cannot be discussed in class because it might offend homosexuals.
I reached out to the 20-year-old student at the center of this outrageous episode and the story he tells should serve as a warning to anyone who thinks religious schools are safe havens for open discourse.
The story was first reported on a blog run by a Marquette University professor and was picked up by the good folks over at The College Fix.
The young man, who asked not to be identified, explained what happened when his ethics instructor, Cheryl Abbate, led a conversation in “Theory of Ethics” class about applying philosophical theories to modern political controversies. There were a list of issues on the board – gay rights, gun rights, and the death penalty.
“We had a discussion on all of them – except gay rights,” the student told me. “She erased that line from the board and said, ‘We all agree on this.’”

She said she hoped Marquette would “use this event as an opportunity to create and actively enforce a policy on cyberbullying and harassment.”
“It is astounding to me that the university has not created some sort of policy that would prohibit this behavior which undoubtedly leads to a toxic environment for both students and faculty,” she told Inside Higher Ed......"
Marquette is the most conservative Jesuit college. I wonder how that is playing among the administrators.
There is no end to the infection known as Liberalism.

“Dualistic Thinking in the Animal Protection Movement: A Problem for Sentience Based Accounts”
January 31, 2014 by Cheryl Abbate
Dualistic thinking is perhaps the antithesis to both feminist theory and nonhuman animal ethics.
We are familiar with a number of dualisms that infest Western patriarchal thinking: male/female; man/woman; mind/body; reason/emotion; white/other races; culture; nature; human/nature; human/animal. Through these sorts of dualisms, contrived hierarchies of power are established, where those at the top are viewed as “superior” and “dominating” while their “opposites” are granted an inferior or marginalized status. Carol Adams refers to the distinctions provided by dualistic thinking as “A and not A”; on the “A” side, there is men, mind, reason, white, culture, human beings, and so forth, while on the “Not A” side, there is women, body, emotion, black, nature, and animal.
Here is what a number of other influential thinkers have to say about dualisms:..............”
I’m so tired of these insane women.
In their zeal to attack the “patriarchy” they’ve done nothing but to undermine the strength of the Western society that has made their safe, comfortable lives possible.
They’re not gonna like how this could end.
i’d prefer:
“if you support homo marriage, leave my university”
It’s appalling. These are the people indoctrinating our youth.
In the modern manufacturing environment, unless you know somebody REALLY well, you’d best not open your mouth about and liberal hot button. Doing so may get you fired.
I can see a time coming when liberal hot-button issues will be on the job application. Do you support (xxx?) If you answer honestly you won’t even get the job.
I had to sign a 10 page “Ethics” statement. It was full only of thou shlt nots.
Leftists show repeatedly they are the true oppressors.
Getting your mind "right" and/or keeping themselves from being targeted by the Democratic Party's SECOND most powerful money source, trial lawyers.
The number ONE longstanding political money-and-muscle group for the Democratic Party: Teachers unions.
Could be. It’s her twisted ideology.
“A full review of the audio tape reveals the student was in fact disrespectful to the instructor. And when the instructor asked if she was being recorded, the student did not tell the truth.”
Sigh. He blew it. Unfortunately, it’s not enough to be right. Caesar’s wife must be above suspicion.
“Cheryl is a PhD student and philosophy instructor at Marquette University and holds a MA in philosophy from Colorado State University. She specializes in applied ethics, specifically nonhuman animal ethics, military ethics, environmental ethics, bioethics, and feminist philosophy. In addition to working in philosophy.”
