Support Gay Marriage Or Leave My Class Teacher Tells Student According to recent reports, a Marquette University professor has come under fire after allegedly telling her students that they are not allowed to discuss gay marriage because it offends the LGBT community. The issue arose after one student wanted to apply ethical theories on all modern political debates. We had a discussion on all of themexcept gay rights, the student told reporters. She erased that line from the board and said, We all agree on this. Are you saying if I dont agree with gays not being allowed to get married that Im homophobic? the student asked his professor, Cheryl Abbate. Abbate responded that in the classroom, that opinion would be considered homophobic. When the student argued for his freedom of speech rights as an American citizen, he was told, You dont have a right in this class. In this class homophobic comments, racist comments, sexist comments will not be tolerated, Abbate told the student. If you dont like it, you are more than free to drop this class. Thats exactly what this student did. What do you think of this professors decision to censor students?
