University Shouldn’t Punish Me for Not Addressing Male Student as ‘Ms.

[Billy_Kinetta]

Returning from a sabbatical in my 21st year at Ohio’s Shawnee State University, I resumed teaching my regular political philosophy course.


Taking questions in one such class at the end of my first day back, I acknowledged a male student with a “Yes, sir?” (It’s my practice to address my students in this way and to call them Miss, Mrs., or Mr. to foster an atmosphere of seriousness and mutual respect.)

After class, the student approached me to explain that he identifies as a woman and hereafter expected me to refer to him with feminine titles and pronouns.

“I’m not sure I can do that,” I told him.

He didn’t like that. He began to pace in circles around me, his voice rising and taking on an edge. He suggested an unprintable name he might feel free to call me if I declined to indulge his demands. Moreover, he said, he would see to it that I lost my job.

So far, that hasn’t happened, but I do have a letter of discipline in my file now that says I treated this particular student differently than other students by referring to him by his given name rather than as “Ms.” and “she.”

This is what Obama and the Left have given us



That’s all. No other allegations of hostile conduct or even of an unfair grade for the student were ever filed.

Consequently, I found it necessary to file a grievance against the university for violating my First Amendment protections of speech and religious freedom. My objections to the student’s request were based on my own philosophical and religious convictions, which the university blithely ignored.


I also believe I should have a certain amount of freedom, within my own classroom, to determine the exact language I do and do not use when teaching my class. The university denied me that freedom, as well. And it also denied my grievance.

After Shawnee State University sided against this professor, he is now fighting for the First Amendment right of all professors.

You evidently don't understand what mutual respect is.

There is nothing to be gained from respecting delusion and insanity.

Like when I must tolerate religious people and their invisible Gods?

A belief in something that cannot be proven either way is vastly different from a belief in something that can easily be proven as erroneous.

Not really... I merely like to point out inconsistencies in people that open themselves to ridicule because they can't see why they have the dilemma in the first place.

I see. Then I shall wait for you to point out the inconsistencies.
