A far right wing wanker is suing Ohio State University for discrimination. I hate to say it, but if this account is at all accurate, he might have a case.
...
But being a homophobe isn't a crime, and suggesting a rotten book (a suggestion that I'm sure was shot down without hesitation by the other members of the committee) isn't sufficient grounds for a lawsuit. Unless there's an awful lot more to Savage's actions than are revealed in this story, it sounds like people did try to drive him out of his job.
...
So no sympathy for the ugly little hater from me, but I have to concede that at least one of the actions against him also crossed the line.
This guy wants to push a hate filled book on kids to spite a faculty he sees as full of liberals. Fine. Block him. Perhaps make the argument he was disruptive on the committe, so next year he isn't on it. But you don't push them from their jobs. That is against the law.
