University of Toledo Official Fired Over Column

The University of Toledo (UT) has sent a message — loud and clear — to
potential employees and students: African-American Christians need not
apply.
UT President Lloyd Jacobs has betrayed his own anti-Christian intolerance
in
what amounts to a prima facie violation of the U.S. Constitution, Ohio's
state
constitution and Title VII of the 1964 Civil Rights Act.
Recently, Jacobs, who ****trays himself as a bastion of "tolerance" and
"diversity," overtly and shamelessly discriminated against Crystal Dixon,
a
black, Christian employee, because of her constitutionally protected,
factually based and popularly held viewpoint relative to — ironically —
civil
rights.
Dixon, who was Associate Vice President of Human Resources at UT, has been
arbitrarily fired from her job because she publicly defended the integrity
of
African-American civil rights struggles and further expressed her
sincerely
held religious beliefs relative to those struggles.
In a letter to the editor, written as a private citizen and published in
the
Toledo Free Press, Dixon addressed the false comparisons often made
between
the genuine and very worthy civil rights movement and efforts by militant
homo***ual activists to gain special rights based upon aberrant ***ual
preferences. Many African-Americans take great exception to such specious
and
offensive comparisons, and Dixon was no exception.
The letter was in response to a column by Toledo Free Press
Editor-in-Chief
Michael S. Miller in which he took the homo***ual lobby's bait hook, line
and
sinker, deceptively comparing deviant and changeable homo***ual behaviors
to
innate and immutable characteristics such as skin color and physical
disability.
In her letter, Dixon wrote, in part, "I respectfully submit a different
perspective for Miller and Toledo Free Press readers to consider. ...
First,
human beings, regardless of their choices in life, are of ultimate value
to
God and should be viewed the same by others. At the same time, one's
personal
choices lead to outcomes either positive or negative.
"As a black woman who happens to be an alumnus of the University of
Toledo's
Graduate School, an employee and business owner, I take great umbrage at
the
notion that those choosing the homo***ual lifestyle are 'civil rights
victims.' Here's why. I cannot wake up tomorrow and not be a black woman.
I am
genetically and biologically a black woman and very pleased to be so as my
Creator intended. Daily, thousands of homo***uals make a life decision to
leave the gay lifestyle evidenced by the growing population of PFOX
(Parents
and Friends of Ex Gays) and Exodus International just to name a few.
"Economic data is irrefutable: The normative statistics for a homo***ual
in
the USA include a Bachelor's degree. For gay men, the median household
income
is $83,000/yr. (Gay singles $62,000; gay couples living together
$130,000),
almost 80% above the median U.S. household income of $46,326, per census
data.
For lesbians, the median household income is $80,000/yr. (Lesbian singles
$52,000; Lesbian couples living together $96,000); 36% of lesbians
re****ted
household incomes in excess of $100,000/yr. Compare that to the median
income
of the non-college educated Black male of $30,539. The data speaks for
itself."
