A nonprofit organization is calling for Hamline University to be stripped of accreditation after an adjunct professor was dismissed after showing an image of Muhammad during a lecture.
Bill Maher used his Club Random podcast this week to unload on attacks on free speech, hammering fellow liberals as "insane" and "backward" for failing to call out religious extremism when it comes to Islam.
Erika López Prater, a former adjunct art history professor at Hamline University, was reportedly fired last month after a student complained about historical images of the founder of Islam in her art history course. She issued a syllabus warning students that the class would contain images of, including Muhammad and the Buddha, and students were told they could contact her with any concerns about the course material, according a report from the New York Times.
FIRE has appealed to the Higher Learning Commission, an institutional accreditor that has historically accredited post-secondary education institutions in the central U.S., to strip Hamline University of its accreditation after the Muhammad controversy.
