Here's an excerpt from a news article on how the professors of higher education and liberalism are shutting down anyone that speaks against their hallowed views. Since I got this in my email, I don't know the url for the source, but I did some searching and found the Alliance Defense Fund, who is sueing on behalf of the student and is mentioned in this news piece, has information on the specifics of this cas at their website.

Prof calls Christian student 'fascist b------' Lawsuit filed after speech met with: 'Ask God what your grade is'
By Bob Unruh
A student at Los Angeles City College has filed a lawsuit against the institution after a professor called him a "fascist b------" and told him to "Ask God what your grade is" following the student's speech about morality.
The case has been filed by the Alliance Defense Fund on behalf of Jonathan Lopez after his encounter with Professor John Matteson in a speech class.
The lawsuit alleges Lopez was participating in a class assignment to give a speech on "any topic" from six to eight minutes.
"During the November, 24, 2008 class, Mr. Lopez delivered an informative speech on God and the ways in which Mr. Lopez has seen God act both in his life and in the lives of others through miracles. In the middle of the speech, he addressed the issues of God and morality; thus, he referred to the dictionary definition of marriage as being between a man and a woman and also read a passage from the Bible discussing marriage," the ADF explained.
At that point, the professor interrupted him and refused to allow him to finish his speech, ADF said. Matteson then called Lopez a 'fascist b------" and dismissed the class.
Later, the professor left an evaluation form on Lopez's backpack without a grade, instructing him to "Ask God what your grade is."
Yet several weeks earlier, Matteson has announced to the class, in connection to the California vote Nov. 4 in support of a constitutional amendment defining marriage as being between one man and one woman only, that, "if you voted yes on Proposition 8, you are a fascist b------."

My observations:
1. As with other professors of higher learning that I know personally, when their buttons are pushed, they go ballistic. They are no more rational or unemotional than the next person. There is no difference between them and those who haven't reached the ivory towers of knowledge.
2. The sarcasm drips off the professor's pen. He wants the last word. Again proving point number one. In addition, it shows his arrogance.
3. The Light of Truth was a little too bright for this man's dark heart, and apparently a few others in the class. Good for the student.
4. The professor shows his utter and total hypocrisy. This is a SPEECH class, yet because he didn't like the content, he cut the student off. In addition to this, he claims it was prostylizing, yet he and his ilk do it ALL THE TIME (like global warming, evolution, and how much they hate George Bush). Therefore in their minds prostylitizing their agenda only is allowed (have you tried disagreeing with global warming, feminism, or evolution lately?). All of this done while whining about free speech, free thought, and tolerance. This is the group of people who call people like me "narrow minded" "judgmental" and "intolerant". I, however, never claim to be anything BUT. They, do. Thus they are the flaming hypocrits.
5. It used to be that higher education was the place to "think outside the box." Dangerous as that was because in the old days that meant going against common sense and traditional values and principles, they have become what they once decried, only worse. While claiming to be "open minded" they harrass, persecute, and insult those who ARE exercising their "free speech" and "individual thought", going against the majority view. This also happens in the scientific community where if you dare speak out against Evolution or dare question it, you will not only loose your job, but will not get another one. See the documentary with Ben Stein, "Expelled".
