A health professor at Fresno City College has been accused by the ACLU of stoking homophobia in his classroom, teaching anti-gay views and anti-gay religious sentiment as part of his curriculum. The teacher, Professor Dr. Bradley Lopez, who teaches an introductory health class at the college. has gone on record to say that homosexuality is a "misapplication of human sexuality," and that people who are homosexuals should seek "psychological counseling."

According to the ACLU, Dr. Lopez has also said in front of his classroom that gays and lesbians are a threat to society, that instead of global warming people should be worried about the apocalypse, and that abortion is murder.

Fresno City College is a public institution. It shouldn't be a forum for a professor, whose salary is paid by public funds, to prosthelytize in front of a classroom. Demand that Fresno City College respond to these allegations, and urge them to take steps to ensure that their students are being taught science, not religion, in health class.
