'ANTI-CHRISTIAN BIGOTRY' OK TO PRESERVE 'DIVERSITY'
Administrator contests University firing for expressing personal religious viewpointPublished: 2 days ago
Arguing that the U.S. Supreme Court has determined that “no official, high or petty, can prescribe what shall be orthodox in politics, nationalism, religion, or other matters of opinion,” a legal team has appealed the dismissal of an administrator from the University of Toledo in Ohio for her opinion of homosexuality.
The appeal to the 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals comes on behalf of Crystal Dixon, who was fired by the university in 2008 after expressing her “personal, Christian viewpoint on homosexuality” in an op-ed published in a local newspaper.
“In direct contravention,” the appeal states, “defendants seek to prescribe what ‘shall be orthodox’ in matters of opinion by permitting University of Toledo employees to express personal messages that promote certain favored viewpoints on controversial political and social issues, while censoring certaindisfavored viewpoints, such as plaintiff’s Christian viewpoint on the issue of homosexuality.”

Remember, these are the same people that accuse Christians of trying to push their religion on them, censor them, etc.
