Jonathan Lopez has filed a lawsuit against a professor and Los Angeles City College over his treatment after giving a speech on the Christian view of marriage in speech class. Lopez alleges that Professor John Matteson had made it clear that he supported same-sex marriage. He claims that Matteson allegedly attacked him verbally, refused let him complete his speech, effectively called him a “fascist bastard” and refused to give him a grade (telling him to “ask God” for his grade).
Matteson is listed as the co-director of Forensics at the Speech Department.
The complaint in Lopez v. Candaele, (CD CA, filed 2/11/2009) was filed with the support of the Alliance Defense Fund Center for Academic Freedom, which litigates such claims. For a copy of the complaint, click here.
Lopez also alleges that Matteson told him that he would make sure that Lopez was expelled and told his entire class after the November election, “If you voted yes on Proposition 8, you are a fascist bastard.”

if you are who I think you are, then I have changed my opinion of you not that you would care but I wont be going to anymore of your movies. Not that you have had one for awhile but I digress.
Enjoy “supper”. I am sure that Seamus would agree that the English are such pompous nitwits.

I know who you are, its right at the tip of my mind. Just tell me and put me out of my misery.
Well guys I gotta split my wife is coming in the door and we need to get ready for supper out. Tonight I am feeling generous prime rib and cream corn with the real horseradish. YUM!
Buddha what are you doing on the internet, I thought you had a date. You two have fun tonight and get that girl home at a respectable hour. It’s so rare to have propriety in dating these days.
A gift, enjoy.
Thank you Bron, I must have good command of the english language, no script here.
(the sound of crickets)
By the way Buddhaman ambulance chasers come a dime a dozen. If you are one and I did say if, you are pretty lame because the crafty professional lawyers I know don’t have to jerk themselves off on the internet to remind themselves they have a few brain cells to work with.
Buddhaman: One last piece of advice, don’t ever go into a court of law or a deposition and rap off at the head about the field of behavioral science or mental health and make some half assed attempt at a diagnosis you are not qualified to make. All the smoke and horseshit you sling will then be thoroughly exposed…………
Jon Abbey:
is that a fake name?(I cant spell the other word) the cadence of your writting reminds me of someone from the movies and I cant place my finger on it. Also you appear to have had to much cold medicine or booze. what comes to mind is maybe Jon Hurt, I just cant place it but would know it. English probably (thus Bobesq thinking you were Australian).
And it also appears that you are writing from a script, either that or you have an excellent command of the english language.
Very strange.
Well I call it respect for perseverance, but you can project anything you like.
The girly man love-in has begun!
Dosn’t anybody from the peanut gallery want to weigh in? The seething hubris must be just about ready to POP!
Mespo,
Think bigger: trading cards
Friends don’t let friends be bobble heads.

If this thing evolves into bobble-head dolls, I ‘m out!!
I’ll bet a dollar we just made him blush too. He’s humble as all get out, as they say in the South.
And I’m already a confessed follower of Mike S. He’s a man of great character, wisdom and clarity of thought.
I concur with Mespo and would like to know how to subscribe to the newsletter.
