Former New Mexico Student Says She Was Shunned For Anti-Gay View<\/b>
\nALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) — A former University of New Mexico student can proceed with a free speech lawsuit against the school alleging she was ostracized by her professors for making anti-gay<\/a> remarks in paper, a federal judge has ruled.<\/p>\n

Chief U.S. District Judge M. Christina Armijo denied the university’s request to have Monica Pompeo’s lawsuit dismissed, the Albuquerque Journal reported in Thursday’s editions<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Pompeo claims the university acted improperly when she was kicked out of a class in 2012 for describing lesbianism as perverse in a critique of a lesbian<\/a> romance film.<\/p>\n

Pompeo was enrolled in a course called “Images of (Wo)men<\/a>: From Icons to Iconoclasts” and critiqued a 1985 lesbian<\/a> drama, “Desert Hearts.” After grading the critiques, Pompeo’s professor told her to pick up her paper and “ponder the responses” the professor gave her.<\/p>\n

Those written responses included a comment that the critique was “inflammatory and offensive,” the newspaper reported. The professor also blasted Pompeo’s view that a lesbian<\/a> character in the film had a “perverse attraction to the same sex<\/a>” and a “barren womb.”<\/p>\n

The lawsuit alleges the teacher violated her own syllabus, which called for “open minds” to examine “representations of a plethora of genders and sexualities.” Instead, Pompeo says, she was accused of resorting to “hate speech,” and the professor refused to grade her paper.<\/p>\n

Pompeo alleges the professor also made it clear that it would be in Pompeo’s best interests not to return to the class.<\/p>\n

The professor, Caroline Hinkley, did not respond to requests for an interview.<\/p>\n

The lawsuit also alleges Pompeo later met with a supervisor at the university and was told the use of “barren” was inappropriate and offensive.<\/p>\n

Chief U.S. District Judge M. Christina Armijo’s Sept. 29 order found Pompeo’s claims were enough to make a plausible case that the university violated her First Amendment rights.<\/p>\n

Armijo’s ruling questioned whether a “university can have a legitimate pedagogical interest in inviting students to engage in `incendiary’ and provocative speech on a topic and then punishing a student because he or she did just that.”<\/p>\n

“Simply because Plaintiff expressed views about homosexuality that some people may deem offensive does not derive her views of First Amendment protection,” the judge wrote.<\/p>\n

Pompeo’s attorney told the Journal she looks forward to litigating the case in court.<\/p>\n

“This has been pending for a long time,” attorney Louren Oliveros said. “A university should be a place where freedom of expression is invited and where robust debate is welcomed. We’re very much looking forward to having this case go to trial.”<\/p>\n
