I read this story on my FOXNews ticker. We imagined what happened to this student could happen to us if we spoke our mind in class. Well, it did happen in Los Angeles City College.
Jonathan Lopez spoke in his class opposing same-sex marriage (Prop 8 in California). His professor put a stop to this "deeply [offensive]" commentary and called the student a "fascist".
I had a friend in high school named Nallely Manriquez. Her family was from Mexico and her parents got their Green Cards. She was deeply conservative like Mr. Lopez. I do not know if his family recently emigrated to America from Mexico, but I do know that all descendants of Immigrants know they have a better life in America. Look at you ancestry; how were those countries at that time when they emigrated compared to America?
Even if they were the poorest Irishmen during the 17th century being persecuted for being Papists, the colonies were better. If you were German, America was not still run by dukes, they were not emboriled in religious wars like Europe was. America was (and still is) the Land of Opportunity when immigrants come the right way.
Unless of course, you are a college student who happens to be conservative. I never thought those things would ever be said to that person's face. Jonathan Lopez, he is he poster-child for an outspoken Conservative, not only in an inherently liberal state, but also the inherently liberal college system. We stand by you Jonathan!

Just to clear up a little confusion about Jonathan's topic: Jonathan was delivering an informative speech on the basics of the Christian faith and how God has worked through Scripture to change his life. The two verses he recited are two "Basic Christianity"-type verses: Romans 10:9 and Matthew 22:37-38. Marriage was incidental to his primary focus.
Not blaming you at all for positioning it that way, as the MSM has been pushing that version.
"All descendants of immigrants know that they have a better life in America."
Your blanket and general statements create logical fallacies and make you sound, quite frankly, like you don't know what you're talking about.
Try sticking to the facts instead of what you think that other people believe.
