1984 anyone?

Ok, this shit is truly scary and only a microcosm of what I will (hopefully) be dealing with next semester at the U of M. I really wish this wasn't true, I really do...

A student is suing Los Angeles City College over an incident in which a professor refused to let him finish a speech against gay marriage, according to the Los Angeles Times. (LA Times)

Student Jonathan Lopez told the Times that the professor, John Matteson, called him a "fascist bastard" and refused to let him finish his speech during a public speaking class last November, weeks after California voters approved Proposition 8 banning gay marriage.

Lopez also said the teacher threatened to have him expelled when he complained to college authorities.

Lopez is represented by the Alliance Defense Fund, a Christian legal organization based in Scottsdale, Ariz., and co-founded by evangelical leader James Dobson of Focus on the Family. Alliance staff counsel David J. Hacker told The Times Lopez was a victim of religious discrimination.

"He was expressing his faith during an open-ended assignment, but when the professor disagreed with some minor things he mentioned, the professor shut him down," Hacker said. "Basically, colleges and universities should give Christian students the same rights to free expression as other students."



Ugh... liberals preaching tolerance and acceptance is the most hypocritical bullshit that is out there. What I find even scarier is reading the comments.
This person was too chickenshit to even put his name on his comment...

To all of you self pitying conservatives I just have one thing to say: Where is the speech? You are ranting and raving in favor a students right to make a speech that you yourselves have not as yet read. If it turns out that his speech is filled with hateful offensive remarks then maybe you will quietly move one to your next crusade.To all of you self pitying conservatives I just have one thing to say: Where is the speech?

Newsflash to liberal moron, hateful and offensive speech is STILL PROTECTED BY THE CONSTITUTION AND 1ST AMENDMENT LIKE IT OR NOT. Oh but it gets worse...

Poor right-wingers! Getting some of their own medicine, and they don't like it? Too bad. Get used to it. For years we've been listening to the neo-cons whining about the "liberal media". Now, it's payback time. If you don't want to be attacked for spreading your hate, then stop spreading it. And if you don't stop, we'll stop you, by any means possible.Poor right-wingers!

wow, and to think this guy is allowed to vote, scary thought ain't it folks?

The student is clearly a moron. Why should other students have to listen to his idiocy? I am confident he will roast in hell.The student is clearly a moron. Why should other students have to listen to his idiocy? I am confident he will roast in hell.

What has happened to education in this country? Seriously folks I fear for my generation because they either get brainwashed or are too preoccupied with The Bachelor, American Idol, or some other BS to care about things that actually matter in today's world.

To be fair there were intelligent comments, like this one.

People should look up the definition of fascism: Fascism is an authoritarian nationalist ideology focused on solving economic, political, and social problems that its supporters see as causing national decline or decadence. Fascists aim to create a single-party state in which the government is led by a dictator who seeks unity by requiring individuals to subordinate self-interest to the collective interest of the nation, a race or even a social class. Fascist movements promote violent conflict between nations, political factions, and races as part of a social Darwinist view that conflict between these groups is natural and a part of evolution. Which party is looking to: - curb free speech (Fairness Doctrine) - promotes hate between social groups (class envy - evil rich! big oil! big tobacco!) - trying to establish a single party (moving the census into the White House) - are led by a dictator (look up photos of Hitler's rallies in the 1930s and compare them to Obama's rallies of the last election....) The gap between socialism and fascism is less than people realize, and certainly both go against individual freedoms and rights. All those lefties with cute bumperstickers about their civil rights should realize that America is about to give up much more of its soul (I believe our civil liberties are the soul of this country) than ever before. If the government can dictate what people earn, we are a step beyond socialism and a step closer to fascism. If the government can shut down Rush Limbaugh, et al., that is fascism. For all the complaining about Rush, Hannity, etc., the dems still managed to get congress and the White House, so what's the problem? Aaah! Dissending voices are not allowed! What regimes don't allow those voices either? In colleges leftist professors brainwash the majority of students and bully the few who dare to stand up (I speak from experience). They perform the taks of the brownshirts. America is becoming a fascist state.

I couldn't have said it better, now back to the idiots.

anyone who thinks there is a magical invisible god floating around, and this magical invisible god hates gay people probably shouldnt be in collegeanyone who thinks there is a magical invisible god floating around, and this magical invisible god hates gay people probably shouldnt be in college

You don't agree with me therefore your an idiot. Typical liberal debate tactic. To quote a classic liberal bumpersticker over the last 8 years. "I love my country but I fear the government", I love this great land, but I fear it is really being destroyed a little more each day
