A college student has filed a lawsuit saying a public speaking professor
berated him in class for making a speech opposing same-sex marriage.

Professor Sued by Student Over Anti-Gay Marriage Speech
Student Jonathan Lopez told the Times that the professor, John Matteson,
called him a "fascist bastard" and refused to let him finish his speech
during a public speaking class last November, weeks after California voters
approved Proposition 8 banning gay marriage.

Lopez <http://www.nbclosan geles.com/ topics?topic= Jonathan+ Lopez> also said
the teacher threatened to have him expelled when he complained to college
authorities.

Lopez is represented by the Alliance Defense Fund, a Christian legal
organization based in
Scottsdale<http://www.nbclosan geles.com/ topics?topic= Scottsdale>,
Ariz., and co-founded by evangelical leader James
Dobson<http://www.nbclosan geles.com/ topics?topic= James+Dobson>of Focus
on the Family. Alliance staff counsel David
J. Hacker <http://www.nbclosan geles.com/ topics?topic= David+Hacker> told The
Times Lopez was a victim of religious discrimination.

"He was expressing his faith during an open-ended assignment, but when the
professor disagreed with some minor things he mentioned, the professor shut
him down," Hacker said. "Basically, colleges and universities should give
Christian students the same rights to free expression as other students."

Founder Samuel Adams noted,
"It does not take a majority to prevail ...
but rather an irate, tireless minority,
keen on setting brushfires of freedom
in the minds of men." We know you
are one of the "tireless minority"
of conservative activists, and we
thank you for your vigilance.
