Can sharing your faith’s beliefs on matters dealing with homosexuality be a form of discrimination? What happens when it is perhaps decided, one day, that your own beliefs are deemed offensive? At what point is religious opinion deemed “Hate Speech”? Are his words protected by the First Amendment?
“Adjunct professor Kenneth Howell said he was fired at the end of the spring semester after sending an e-mail explaining Catholic beliefs on homosexuality to his students preparing for an exam.”
In his email from May 4th, Mr. Howell wrote:
"Natural Moral Law says that Morality must be a response to REALITY…… In other words, sexual acts are only appropriate for people who are complementary, not the same."
Is this “hate speech”, as the university originally claimed?…
Yeah, I read the email he sent to the students, which one can read in the link on the facebook group, and it was not hateful. So glad it worked out for him :):)
ReplyDeleteI know, I would not have expected the outcome to be so favorable. So quickly, anyway :o)
