Via John Pepple<\/a>, I just learned that John McAdams, a tenured associate professor of political science at Marquette University, has been suspended<\/a> with pay and barred from campus for criticizing a graduate student philosophy teacher who shut down a classroom conversation on gay marriage.  As McAdams puts it<\/a> at his weblog Marquette Warrior<\/a>:<\/span><\/p>\n

It created more controversy than any blog other post we have done: an account of a Philosophy instructor at Marquette<\/a> who told a student that gay marriage could not be discussed in her class since any opposition would be \u201chomophobic\u201d and would \u201coffend\u201d any gay students in the class. Not only did the story echo among Catholic outlets<\/a> and sites dedicated to free speech on campus<\/a>, but it created considerable blow back among leftist academics<\/a>, who pretty much demanded our head on a pike<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

This incident further illustrates what I mean when I say that the universities of the land, most of them, have become leftist seminaries and hotbeds of political correctness.  The behavior of the philosophy instructor illustrates the truth that there is little that is classically liberal about contemporary liberals.<\/span><\/p>\n

I will add Marquette Warrior<\/a> to my blogroll.<\/span><\/p>\n
