(Fox News) - Another African-American woman, this one an administrator at the University of Toledo, has been suspended for writing a newspaper op-ed challenging the notion that homosexuals are civil rights victims. Associate Vice President of Human Resources Crystal Dixon was responding to an editorial in the Toledo Free Press.
She wrote, "I cannot wake up tomorrow and not be a black woman... Daily, thousands of homosexuals make a life decision to leave the gay lifestyle evidenced by the growing population of PFOX (Parents and friends of Ex-Gays) and Exodus International, just to name a few."
Even though Dixon said she was not speaking on behalf of the university, the school has suspended her with pay, saying her comments "do not accord with the values of the University of Toledo." The conservative group "concerned women for America" tells Cybercast News this is "classic viewpoint discrimination", and says it almost invites a lawsuit.

actually she did identify herself as an employee of the university. And I don't think she indicated that she was speaking for herself. She did involve the university.
