COLLEGE STUDENT
SCHOOLED NOT TO USE FACTS ON PROF, Punished for
pointing out that biologists recognize 2 sexes, by Bob Unruh, 3/21/18, WND
A university student who was expelled from a theology class for nearly three weeks for reciting biological facts to the professor has been reinstated, just as another university was offering the opportunity to finish his studies there.
A university student who was expelled from a theology class for nearly three weeks for reciting biological facts to the professor has been reinstated, just as another university was offering the opportunity to finish his studies there.
Lake
Ingle was ordered by Professor Alison Downie at Indiana University of
Pennsylvania to leave the class after he pointed out that
biologists recognize there are two sexes.
The university was going through a
formal review of the actions by both the student and the professor when the school’s president, Michael Driscoll, abruptly stepped in and said Ingle
would be allowed back to class.
The Washington Update by Tony Perkins of the
Family Research Council pointed out that
another school was ready to step in.
“Our
good friend, Oklahoma Wesleyan President Dr. Everett Piper, wants to invite
Lake to a campus where his views won’t be punished,” Perkins wrote.
Piper
said: “I’m officially offering Lake Ingle tuition waiver to take our version of
‘Christianity 481’ and other remaining coursework at @OKWUniv where we still
teach biology and Christian orthodoxy.”
The offer apparently isn’t necessary,
since IUP backed down. But Driscoll said he would see how things develop
and may want to start the formal review process again.
The Update commented that “basic biology
is something people should know before they get
to college.”
“Unfortunately
for Lake Ingle, that wasn’t the case. When he tried to explain what should be
common knowledge about men and women, he got a lesson in political correctness
instead!” the publication said.
“The
class was Christian Theology. But Lake’s professor at the Indiana University of
Pennsylvania seemed to know less about theology than basic science, if that’s
possible. During a lecture called, ‘Christianity 481: Self, Sin, and
Salvation,’ Ingle took issue with the video Alison Downie showed her class of a
pastor who identifies as transgender. After it was finished, Downie asked the
female students if they had any thoughts on the ‘reality’ of ‘mansplaining,’
‘sexism from men,’ and ‘male privilege.’ When no one spoke up, Lake did. He
explained that biologists agreed there are only two genders infuriating the
professor, who accused him of ‘disrespectful objection,’ kicked him out of the
class, and told him not to come back.”
Provost
Timothy Moerland then sent a note to Ingle informing him, “You are barred
from attending this class in accordance with the Classroom Disruption policy.”
The student was astonished, arguing his
professor was “violating my First Amendment rights because of the fact that my views and ideology is different from hers.”
“So
she took it on herself to silence and embarrass me – bully me – for speaking up
in class.”
Ingle
said he thinks he was punished because his views contradicted the professor’s.
Lifezette confirmed earlier this week Ingle was allowed back in class,
through an email from Driscoll, who said he was pausing the proceedings of the
academic integrity board.
Driscoll
also complained in his email that Ingle “chose to take his version of events to
the media.”
Ingle
told Lifezette: “Coincidentally enough, the day I was told I could go back to
class was the day I was supposed to get that ruling. It seemed like they were
going to rule in my favor.”
Fox News reported Driscoll called a news conference
to announce Ingle’s reinstatement.
The
professor, Downie, did not respond to Fox’s request for comment.
But
Ingle discussed the case, prior to the decision, in an interview with Fox
News’ Tucker Carlson.
Comments
There are
errors on both sides of this debate. Yes, there is evidence in the Bible
sufficient to conclude that homosexuality is a sin, but we have free will and
our sins are our business. This LGBT zealot has no right promoting her sin as a
good alternative lifestyle. This has been called sexual deviance forever and
these groups are subcultures we have had for centuries. Free speech allows those who view the spread
of these subcultures as inappropriate to object to their politicization. Forced
acceptance of LGBT behavior promotes the tyranny of the minority we’ve seen
abused for decades using political correctness. This might be a good scam for
the Democrat Party, but it creates divisions we should not tolerate. This is a
multicultural hoax that attempts to diminish our freedom of speech.
If the
LGBT crowd wants to advance their cause honestly, they should be open to debate
the facts. There are disadvantages to subcultures that isolate them from the
larger society. They need to know that their demands wear thin and their
belligerence makes them less acceptable.
The fact
that we have “protected groups” at all is fueling this scam and I don’t see
this group included in the current Civil Rights Act, but they are carping to be
included. As for theology, the liberal churches are shrinking and closing,
indicating the withdrawal of the larger society that refuses to be
propagandized. They need to establish their own LGBT churches.
