Michael Bonesteel says he resigned from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago after a "small cadre of militant LBGT students with an authoritarian agenda" created a "toxic environment" that led to him losing his health insurance.
Bonesteel claims that several transgender students took issue with the materials he presented in class, as well as his lack of trigger warnings, and filed formal complaints against him for harassment.
The school allegedly responded by cutting back his course-load to the point that he no longer qualified for health insurance benefits, and forced him to get rid of all controversial subject matter in his remaining courses.
