Supreme Court Review Sought In University's Firing of VP For Op-Ed On Homosexuality

The American Freedom Law Center announced Tuesday that it has filed a petition for certiorari (full text) seeking U.S. Supreme Court review of the 6th Circuit's decision in Dixon v. Jacobs.  In the case, the Court of Appeals held that the University of Toledo (OH) did not violate the 1st Amendment free speech rights of its Associate Vice President for Human Resources when it terminated her because of an op-ed column she wrote expressing her views about homosexuality.
