Homosexuality and religion in the classroom

(On Top Magazine) The American Civil Liberties Union, a civil rights group, is accusing a professor at Fresno City College in California of teaching anti-gay views as science. The group alleges Bradley Lopez taught that being gay is a "biological misapplication of human sexuality." It also says he presented gay men and lesbians as a threat to society by using passages from the Bible as empirical evidence. Two students who complained to the union said the administration dismissed their complaints about the professor. The ACLU wrote a detailed letter to Dr. Cynthia E. Azari, president of the college, urging the college to analyze the situation.
