PUNCH BACK TWICE AS HARD: Professor sues university for defamation, retaliation in response to his pro-Israel views.

A tenured philosophy professor at DePaul University is suing the institution and two senior faculty members for alleged retaliation against him for his pro-Israel views.

In the lawsuit, filed in Cook County Circuit Court, Jason Hill describes a “hostile work environment” and a “campaign of intimidation and demonization” against him because he “freely spoke his mind.”

Several faculty have “petitioned their own faculty chairs to prohibit Dr. Hill from teaching upper-level classes,” and encouraged students to “boycott his classes,” the suit alleges, claiming defamation and violation of his due process and contractual rights. He has suffered damages such as “Censorship, Financial Loss, and Public Humiliation and Scorn.”

Perhaps most explosively, Hill (above) claims he is being punished for not fitting DePaul’s stereotypes of a homosexual Jamaican immigrant of African descent.

The defendants have targeted Hill because “he has departed from the opinion” that they have “deemed permissible and acceptable for someone of his race and sexual orientation” to hold, the suit argues.

Certainly sounds plausible. Especially at DePaul, which has been a PC cesspit for years.
