University Prez Set To Retire After Firestorm Over Fired Professor Who Showed Muhammad Picture....

Islam is a very traditional, conservative religion. It has always amazed me the Left has gone out of its way to defend its conservatism while trashing Christianity. It this another way to attack western civilization:

 

MAKE THEM PAY: Court Allows Religious Discrimination Claim to Go Forward in Ex-Hamline Prof’s Mohammed Images / Islamic Art Controversy.

'Hamline University declined to renew Erica López Prater's instructor contract because she displayed Islamic Art containing images of Mohammed in her World Art class, and some students objected. López Prater sued, and on Friday Judge Katherine M. Menendez (D. Minn.) allowed her religious discrimination claim to go forward (López Prater v. Trustees of the Hamline Univ. of Minn.):'

'Ms. López Prater alleges two theories of religious discrimination: 1) discrimination because she is not Muslim, and 2) discrimination because she failed to conform to certain religious beliefs of others (i.e., that it is improper to view images of the Prophet Muhammad)…. Although the Court appreciates that Ms. López Prater alleges unusual and somewhat indirect theories for religious discrimination, it does not believe that novelty in this context equates to failure to state a claim. Given the lens applicable at this stage, where a plaintiff's' allegations are taken as true, dismissal is not appropriate.'

'Ms. López Prater may have difficulty proving her case at later stages, especially because demonstrating that Hamline would have treated her differently if she was Muslim seems very hard to establish. But the sole question before the Court at this stage is whether her allegations plausibly state a claim for relief, and Hamline bears the burden of dismissal….'

This should prove to be an interesting case.
