Preacher calls students "whores", "sluts", and "fags" and still gets paid $33,120.00 by the University! How is that fair?

The University of Arkansas will have to pay $33,120 in attorneys fees to a preacher who sued the school over alleged free speech violations.

U.S. District Judge Jimm Larry Hendren rejected Gary Don Bowman's request for $75,000 in attorneys fees, instead awarding him the lesser amount Wednesday. University attorneys had opposed the request, saying it was excessive.

Bowman, of Cherokee County, Okla., sued the university in October 2003, saying the school policy of allowing him only five days to preach on campus was illegal.

At trial, Hendren agreed with the university's defense arguments, and Bowman appealed the ruling to the 8th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. The appeals court in April said the five-day ban was unconstitutional and it ordered the university to revise the policy.

While on campus, Bowman preached outside the Student Union. Witnesses in a trial on his lawsuit said Bowman had called students "sluts," "whores," and "fags" and told them they were going to hell because they participated in fraternities and sororities.

By the way I heard that the whores and the fags were actually not bothered by Gary Don. It was the sluts that really got their feelings hurt.

The sluts are going to form a support group. There are a surprising number of fraternity's offering to let them hold the meetings at their houses. What nice young men!
