So I went to the press....
After today's articles in the Las Vegas Review Journal (http://www.reviewjournal.com/lvrj_home/2005/Feb-08-Tue-2005/opinion/439810.html and http://www.reviewjournal.com/lvrj_home/2005/Feb-08-Tue-2005/opinion/440078.html), I have now had no choice but to go public with my side of the story. I have contacted the Rebel Yell Editor in Chief (Justin) and he's going to place this article on the front page of the school newspaper on Thursday. I've also contacted Richard Lake, the reporter at the Las Vegas Review Journal to notify him that I am the student that filed the discrimination complaint against my professor, so I am sure he'll be calling me back tomorrow. I did make a promise to Justin that I won't talk to the Review Journal until after this article is made public in the Rebel Yell. I'll make sure that I plan a meeting with the Review Journal for Thursday late afternoon.
I thought long and hard about everything and with Dr. Hoppe playing this "victim" and with only his version of the story being known, I've gotta set the record straight and come out with everything that I know. I hope that after this goes public that Dr. Hoppe will just let it be, but who knows. If he decides to go to the TV media, then so be it. I'll fly home to Las Vegas and do a press conference.
I just cannot believe that of all organizations, the ACLU is supporting a man that believes that Focus on the Family (aka, the Family Research Institute, led by Jerry Falwell) is substantial evidence to prove that homosexuals live a riskier lifestyle. This coming from an organization that feels that homosexuals are low lifes and basically scum. Plus, the simple fact is...none of Dr. Hoppe's materials presented in lecture were peer reviewed (meaning, no other professor has reviewed this material and written any type of commentary). This is against university guidelines.
This ought to be interesting...stay tuned!
