A community college professor forced her students to wear ribbons in support of gay rights and allegedly told her class people who support the traditional definition of marriage are “uneducated bigots” who “attack homosexuals with hate,” reports Todd Starnes of Fox News.
Students in the Tennessee-based Columbia State Community College psychology class were directed to wear “Rainbow Coalition” ribbons for a day and express support for the homosexual community, Travis Barham, an attorney with Alliance Defending Freedom, told Starnes.
Some students objected to the assignment, citing religious exemptions, but Barham told Fox News the professor dismissed students’ concerns as irrelevant.
The students were also barred from defending or explaining any other views regarding homosexual conduct, dismissing such arguments as ‘throwing Bible verses’ at her,” the attorney said.
“When students objected to how she was pushing her personal views on the class, she explained that it is her job ‘to educate the ignorant and uneducated elements of society,’ that oppose this movement’s demands and to correct their ‘hateful and close-minded’ views,” Barham said.
