Facts no barrier to sound scholarship

Prof. McAdams presents his latest research.

Thesis:
Principals and school boards are used [to] being scared of secular forces (unually [usually? unusually? annually?] including the ACLU), and in the past have seldom had trouble from people defending relgious [sic] freedom.
Argument I:
The Christian Post is an objective source for this sort of thing.
Argument II:
Valerie Burch, a staff attorney with the Pennsylvania chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union, said the student’s T-shirt represented political speech, the most protected form of speech, even inside schools.*
Argument III:
Liberty Counsel et al only very seldom litigate.
Conclusion:

Prof. McAdams teaches political science at Marquette University.

Seriously.

* In fact it's right-wing conservative Republican hero Associate Justice Clarence Thomas who says that no such protection exists.

  1. What's driving this? Why, "anti-Christian animus." And whos' behind that?

    One guess. McAdams says it's "liberal school administrators."

    I can think of a few T-shirts I'd like to wear to his class. But if I didn't get kicked out I'd have to sit through it, and it's not worth the risk.
