Teacher to student: If you don't support gay marriage, drop my class
Fox News ^ | November 22, 2014 | Todd Starnes

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.’”

Not many will drop this class, as they agree with her premise in WI.

My next to last Fortune 500 employer gave us new badges. I went to the badge maker’s website. They said their system would, among quite a lot of times, provide the exact time totals people spent in the bathrooms, lunch room and smoking areas. It could be set to record how long they were in their assigned area and list everywhere they went.

Are you in a heavily regulated industry, like pharmaceutical manufacturing or weapons systems? (Just a yes or no will do.)

I consulted in heavily regulated international industries in the 80s & 90s, and was amazed how lax the security and secrecy procedures were. I could wander around rather freely, even though the only hold they had on me was not hiring me for another assignment if I were out of line. I took a contractor with me to one meeting. She was born in another country and while we were there, she was recognized by an in-house R&D employee from the same country. They chatted in their native language. On the way home, she told me that during their conversation, the researcher disclosed that he had faked data to meet the aggressive deadlines and Federal regulations.

Marquette has not been conservative for many years. It’s been liberalized and secularized.

MU has been militantly pro-gay for years. A perfect bookend to the rot that is affecting the Milwaukee archdiocese, which were involved in widespread coverups of priest molestation issues.

She bullies the student and then complains about bullying.

Oh, I am not the only one who hates that stupid phrase as it is used in recent years.

To me “reaching out” implies that the reacher is attempting to offer comfort and solace to the reachee.

I hereby declare it officially commendable to 'reach out' and slap anyone using that phrase.

She specializes in applied ethics, specifically nonhuman animal ethics, ...

Businesses worldwide are clamoring for Philosophy Majors in Non-Human Animal Ethics.

Students should always check professors’ ratings online to make sure they don’t sign up for sicko wackadoodle classes.

This sick whackjob is funded by tuition money. How disgusting that such a atrophied mind can be a “professor”.

Years ago, before grade inflation, a professor woman in a northeastern university, announced in her first class of the term:

“I don’t give As. The A is perfection and I don’t believe in perfection.”

Everyone simultaneously gathered up their books and hustled out of the classroom. True story.

Wow...if I’m a student I get up and announce I am dropping the class only because I took the class to learn the subject matter, not a persons politically extreme leftist views.
Then walk....

The next one is the nurses union.
NNU(National Nurses United)
Think of that power with multiple countries involved.
Money goes from my dues to politicians in other states.
They also are united with the AFL-CIO,dumping(funding)money to keep Trumka and his cronies afloat.
The nurses union was instrumental in sinking Meg Whitmans run for Gov.of Calif.$50,000.spent on an actor and a bus to follow her around mocking her.Their tactics were sleazy and childish,but that’s what they thrive on.
It is no longer nurses they profess to fight for ,but now it is against the Keystone Pipeline,corporations etc...Go look up the Robin Hood Tax.I get this nearly 4-5 times a year plus, with nurses posed on the cover of a magazine dressed as Robin Hood fighting for a tax on corporations.

It could be set to record how long they were in their assigned area and list everywhere they went. A friend kept his badge (necessary to enter certain labs) inside a faraday cage. But, as I pointed out, if they really wanted to they could make him wear it around his neck as they knew the instant he shielded it.

OK, so leave the badge at your desk when you go to the restroom and lunchroom.
