Title: Professor's Alleged Religious and Anti-Gay Remarks Draw Letter From ACLU
Publication: The Chronicle
Country: United States
Published Date:
February 08, 2010


In response to student complaints that a health-science professor at Fresno City College makes overtly religious and anti-gay statements in his lectures, the American Civil Liberties Union sent a letter to the college today demanding that it ensure that all its health-science classes teach unbiased and medically accurate information. The letter also advises the college that it is legally required to prevent the professor from engaging in religious indoctrination in his classes. The college's president, Cynthia E. Azari, told The Fresno Bee that an internal investigation was under way.
