Ken Howell was a professor at the University of Illinois Champaign who taught Introduction to Catholicism and Modern Catholic Thought, and was known to be a Catholic himself. During the course, Howell included a section on the relationship of moral law and natural law. Using homosexual behavior as an example, he said based on natural law Catholics believe sexual acts are only appropriate for people who are complementary, not the same.

Howell accurately taught what Catholics believe, but a student complained to the university and Howell was subsequently fired. The university said his teachings violated the university’s standards of inclusivity. Apparently, inclusivity only includes people who promote sinful, unnatural acts. This is clearly anti-religious bigotry and view point discrimination.

TAKE ACTION:

Help send a message to the University of Illinois to stop censoring religious speech and allow for intellectual freedom and honest debate. Contact the University of Illinois President, Michael Hogan, and urge that he reinstate Ken Howell.
