Sgt Christian DeJohn wins case over Temple University
I’ve been following Christian’s lawsuit against this case of discrimination by Temple University in Pennsylvania. While this latest ruling by the 3rd US Circuit Court affirms Christians win in District Court, he is still in limbo.
To read the background on this case of discrimination on speech by Temple University against Sgt Christian DeJohn go here.

Clash with university over beliefs strands student
Seeking resolution of master’s degree work at TempleA university student who challenged his school’s “speech code” and won a ruling in federal court that it was vague, overbroad and stifled student speech, including his Christian views, is continuing his battle with Temple University because the school has – three years after he completed it – declined to provide a grade on his master’s thesis, thus effectively denying him his degree.
The Alliance Defense Fund recently announced that the 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals had affirmed the district court victory by Christian DeJohn, who is a sergeant in the Pennsylvania Army National Guard.
snip…..and here’s the however for Sgt Christian DeJohn
DeJohn’s career, however, is not advancing as he planned. He told W ND the judge’s order did not include instructions for Temple to grade his thesis, so more than three years after he completed it under school supervision, it still sits.
So even though Christian has won the war he still hasn’t won the battle. Temple University’s anti military crusade is a disgrace and all military personnel should be forewarned. Be sure to read the full story of Sgt Christian DeJohn’s assault by the anti-military liberal professors at Temple University.
I used to work at Temple University, and I am aware of their unfair treatment — and tactics to deal with — employees and students who are perceived as a threat to their system in some way.
In his margin notes for Sgt. DeJohn’s thesis, Urwin refers to him as a “crackpot.” Has anybody seen Urwin dressed up in costume for Civil War battle re-enactments?

I hope Sgt. DeJohn gets his thesis — and at the very least, a refund for the money he spent at that benighted university.
