Ask God What Your Grade Is

I found an interesting case from last year involving a student at LA City College and freedom of speech and religion.

The student, Jonathan Lopez, wasn't allowed to finish his in-class speech against same-sex marriage. His professor disagreed with what the student was saying and called the student a "fascist bastard." When the student asked what his grade was, the professor replied, "Ask God What Your Grade Is."

The student, who is described as a Christian in the suit, has filed a lawsuit suit in the incident. He didn't appreciate being called a "fascist bastard" by the professor or the reference to God and his grade.

I think the student's freedom of speech and religion were violated. The professor in this speech class should have allowed the student to finish his speech. I think the student will win the case.
