'ANOTHER false 'religious liberty' case bites the dust' and other Monday midday news briefs

Federal court dismisses suit against UT - This is one of those "religious liberty" fake outs from way back. In 2008, University of Toledo associate vice president for human resources Crystal Dixon was fired for writing a piece in the area newspaper objecting to a previously written by the Toledo Free Press’ editor-in-chief on gay rights. Using inaccurate information, Dixon said that gays rights and African-American civil rights cannot be compared. But the substance of her piece was not what led to her dismissal. In her piece, she talked about university policy and without the permission of the university. In ruling against her, the court said:

“…The balance of [Ms. Dixon’s] interest in making a comment of public concern is clearly outweighed by the University’s interest as her employer in carrying out its own objectives. Therefore, [Ms. Dixon] has failed to establish that her speech was protected,” the judge wrote. “[Ms. Dixon] also claims that she was fired for violating an impermissibly vague speech policy. However, the damage she did to her ability to perform her job and to the University provide ample justification for her termination.”
