"An assistant professor of theatre and dance at a Texas university is suing the school for religious discrimination — alleging that she was punished for refusing to attend a series of homosexual-themed theatrical productions."

The one man show put on by a man, "described in court papers as an “openly homosexual man who advocates for normalizing homosexuality and homosexual marriage.” contained "... obscene language and sexual gestures.”

"Court papers indicate that the show was cancelled after complaints from the community. In response...,several students organized a show billed as a “celebration of homosexuality.”

"Ozmun said she declined to attend because of her religious beliefs...In March 2011, she received her annual review and was given a grade of “unacceptable” for refusing to attend the celebration of homosexuality. She filed a grievance which was returned and noted “unheard.”

Professor Says She was Punished For Refusing to See Gay Show | FOX News & Commentary: Todd Starnes

More fascist bullying and intimidation. If this goes on with the staff, one can only imagine the pressure and intimidation that must go on with the students.

I can't find anything from the college, or anything on the job description.
If it is not part of her job, then she has every right to not attend. I would think that since she had to ask to be excused from the shows, it is required for her to be there.
If seeing shows that are performed on campus is part of her job description, then she has no case.

If it is part of her job as a professor of THEATER to go see the shows the THEATER puts on, then didn't she sign up for this when she took the job?

Yep. Like the kid in Michigan, who was evicted from his public school economics class for not wanting to participate in a Gay Pride discussion.

That was a public school, and a kid, NOT a professor who was being paid to do her job.

eta. I don't think the kid should have been punished in any way. They could have given him an alternate lesson plan.

Sort of like if a Muslim applies for job as a waiter in a bar, refuses to serve drinks and cites his religion.
