ACLU Goes After FCC Health Instructor

The ACLU has drafted a letter to the President of Fresno City College, to issue a formal complaint about Bradley Lopez, a health instructor at the school. They claim his teachings include various religious based arguments as well as anti-gay misinformation being shown to the students. Some of what the ACLU says Mr. Bradley has…



*Presented media labeled as "homosexual facts" which state that homosexuality is a "biological misapplication of human sexuality" and that the "condition" of homosexuality can be treated with hormones or counseling.

*Presented LGBT Americans as a burden on society.

*Used biblical quotes as "empirical evidence" that life begins at conception and therefore, abortion is murder.

*Stated that the climate change to be worried about is the biblical description of the world ending in fire.

Mr. Lopez responded in December, stating that he only provides students with "measured, scientific information in current issues and health", as well as noting his disagreement with the concept of the separation of church and state.

While free speech is, of course, Mr. Lopez’s right outside the classroom, the ACLU reminds that "as a tax supported entity, FCC must of course comply with state and federal law, which prohibits religious indoctrination in public education".

The ACLU has demanded a response from the school by February 15th.
