Woman Fired for Expressing Her Personal Opinions




Homosexual sex is what a person does.



Christians see homosexual behavior to be the issue. Sexual behavior cannot be compared to the struggle of blacks to secure full civil rights. General Colin Powell, in a 1992 letter to former congressional representative Patricia Schroeder, made this important point:

“Skin color is a benign, nonbehavioral characteristic. Sexual orientation is perhaps the most profound of human behavioral characteristics. Comparison of the two is a convenient but invalid argument.” ((Cited in John W. Whitehead, Religious Apartheid: The Separation of Religion from American Public Life (Chicago, IL: Moody Press, 1994), 126. Powell has since come out in support of ‘gay’ marriage.))

The legal team at the American Freedom Law Center said the following in its rehearing request for Ms. Dixon:


Since the University of Toledo is a government-funded school and not a private non-tax-payer funded educational institution, speech and text (press), even unpopular speech and text by liberal standards, is protected under the First Amendment that guarantees “the freedom of speech” and “of the press.” Not the guarantee of some speech, but of all speech.

The First Amendment was put into the Constitution for comments like those of Ms. Dixon. Challenging the status quo, the powers that be, is an inherent American tradition protected by the Constitution.
