Marquette expands on John McAdams controversy

Professor calls actions 'a bit of a joke'

EXCERPT...

McAdams in his initial blog post described the after-class discussion between the student and Abbate, and then concluded:

"Abbate, of course, was just using a tactic typical among liberals now. Opinions with which they disagree are not merely wrong, and are not to be argued against on their merits, but are deemed 'offensive' and need to be shut up."

At the end of his blog post, McAdams said: "How many students, especially in politically correct departments like Philosophy, simply stifle their disagreement, or worse yet get indoctrinated into the views of the instructor, since those are the only ideas allowed, and no alternative views are aired?"

McAdams said in a blog post Tuesday that he wasn't given specifics for why he was relieved of his duties while under review, and that he has secured an attorney.

"Whether Marquette officials really want to punish us for blogging, or whether they simply feel the need for a pro forma 'investigation' of charges someone has brought, we don't know. Either would be gross misconduct on the part of Marquette officials."

McAdams added in a Wednesday night blog post: "The 'suspension' is a bit of a joke, since it's Christmas break and we aren't teaching."

He is willing to bend the facts to fit his narrative. That, IMO, makes him a suspect resource.
