Salem's Witch Trial

Crystal Dixon said her constitutional rights were violated when she was fired from the University of Toledo for writing a column critical of gay rights in a local publication, she told a group of supporters at her church yesterday.

Mike S. Adams writes:

"Dear President Jacobs (UTPresident@utoledo.edu):

I am writing today to ask for your immediate resignation from the position of president of The University of Toledo (UT). This request is a result of my recent discovery that you have written a letter to the Ohio legislature in support of passing initiatives that would extend benefits to the domestic partners of gay employees at your university.

It is now abundantly evident that you did not fire Crystal Dixon because she could not perform her duties at UT. You fired her because she disagrees with your political views and because she is interfering with your efforts to serve as a political lobbyist for the gay community. A university president simply cannot be allowed to a) use the power of his office to serve as a political lobbyist, while b) using the power of that office to fire employees perceived as opposing those lobbying efforts."
