Welcome the Wisconsin Supreme Court ruling on Friday in favor of a Marquette University professor who was fired for his free expression. As the AP reports, John McAdams was dismissed after publishing a blog post suggesting that a conservative student had been unfairly silenced by a graduate student lecturer during a discussion on gay marriage.

Marquette contended that because McAdams’ post included the graduate student’s name and email contact, he unjustifiably exposed her to online abuse. The AP states, “The threats were bad enough that the university posted a security officer outside of her classroom and [the lecturer] noticeably lost weight. The graduate student eventually moved to another university, where she had to repeat three semesters and revise her PhD thesis.”
