Professor Ken Howell, who taught Introduction to Catholicism and Modern Catholic Thought at the University of Illinois was fired at the end of spring semester for describing his Catholic beliefs to students via email.
In describing, Natural Moral Law, he wrote in the email, "Natural Moral Law says that Morality must be a response to REALITY." He continued, "In other words, sexual acts are only appropriate for people who are complementary, not the same."
Makes sense IF your understanding of sexual relations is pretty much solely for the means of reproduction. I don't need a professor to spell that out for you. Actually, in this regard, Catholic moral law sounds more like simply natural law, which sounds like (gasp!) science. (Science just wouldn't have any moral implications for doing something the wrong way.)
However, a student complained to religion department chair Robert McKim in May. He wrote in an email, "Teaching a student about the tenets of a religion is one thing... Declaring that homosexual acts violate the natural laws of man is another." The student also described the email as "hate speech."
If you want to teach at the University of Illinois, we sure hope your religious views advocate for homosexuality, because they have no tolerance for religious intolerance.

For the fifth time since 1982, Siena College took a poll of 238 presidential scholars that ranks all U.S. Presidents from first to last. The greatest president in these professors' eyes? Franklin Roosevelt.
FDR received top honors for his handling of the economy (they must have loved his proposed tax of 100% on salaries greater than $334,000 in today's dollars or paying farmers to not grow crops) and his foreign policy achievements. So if you think Lincoln or Washington are the real heroes of America, sorry you're wrong. Roosevelt is the greatest. They're academics, they're smarter than you. What about conservative icon, Ronald Reagan?

UCSB Liberal professors have once again shown, regardless of public support for the Arizonan immigration bill, that they know better than the American people. But are these just radicals blowing hot air or is a real threat?
On May 27, nearly 200 student protestors gathered in downtown Santa Barbara to protest the bill, which, as Nayra Pacheco a second year history of public policy major told the Daily Nexus, they were protesting the bill, “because of the racial profiling policies we feel it evoked.”
The reasons for this being a falsehood have already been stated here and elsewhere. Even the most high profile of critics such as Attorney General Eric Holder have conceded that they haven’t even read the bill, and clearly these protestors are showing the same ignorance by repeating these disproven claims.
Regardless, a small band of radicals merged a sit in and a march and blocked an intersection for nearly an hour and a half. In addition to the students, one professor, who still has been failed to be identified, joined in the “civil disobedience.” He with seven other students was arrested. See a theme amongst the campus left and regard for the rule of law?

On Thursday, May 27th 200 UC Santa Barbara students and professors joined the latest trend amongst the campus left by protesting Arizona's new illegal immigration policy, UCSB's campus paper the Daily Nexus reports. The protest reflected another trend huge with liberal professors especially too: getting arrested.
CampusLIE reported earlier this academic year about DePaul professor Win Curran at a pro-union demonstration. This time, an unidentified professor at UC Santa Barbara was arrested on misdemeanor charges for sitting in an intersection for over an hour along with seven other protesters. The other seven are reported to be UCSB students.
The protesters blocked the intersection demanding that Santa Barbara join boycotts on Arizona and that Santa Barbara adopt sanctuary city status.
