The fired professor filed suit against the college, claiming that she introduced the study merely to facilitate a discussion of nurture vs. nature as causes for homosexuality. The professor claims her freedom of speech rights were violated because of a strong political sentiment against the theory of environmental causes of homosexuality. On the other hand, the college concluded the study to be “offensive and unscientific.”
