Marquette University Suspends ProfessorWho Objected after Student was Forbidden from Opposing Gay Marriage

A Marquette University professor has been
suspended from his teaching position after
writing a blog that criticized another
professor who prohibited a student from
expressing views supporting traditional
marriage.
Christian Today reports that John McAdams,
a professor of 37 years, received a letter of
suspension from Dean Richard Holtz that
said he will be banned from campus and
suspended with pay until the establishment
concludes an investigation.
McAdams reportedly wrote about fellow
professor Cheryl Abbate who told her class
that any speech against gay marriage would
be deemed offensive. The professor also
told a male student who disagreed with her
stance on gay marriage that he could drop
the class.
In his blog, McAdams wrote, "Abbate, of
course, was just using a tactic typical
among liberals now. Opinions with which
they disagree are not merely wrong, and are
not to be argued against on their merits, but
are deemed 'offensive' and need to be shut
up."
Marquette University released a statement
saying that McAdams’ blog was a “personal
attack” against another professor.
"As stated in our harassment policy, the
university will not tolerate personal attacks
or harassment of or by students, faculty and
staff,” the statement read. “To be clear, we
will take action to address those concerns.
We deplore hatred and abuse directed at a
member of our community in any format."
Marquette University is a “Catholic and
Jesuit university” in Milwaukee, according to
the establishment’s website.
