About your faith at this Cleveland-area community college

Tuttle’s problems began last March when student Alexis Linton complained that he talked about his Catholic beliefs too often in the introductory philosophy class. She also said that he looked at her distastefully when he found out she was a pagan.

Tuttle said that he asks students to fill out a form that includes a question about their religion.

“I don’t do it to pry in their lives,” said Tuttle, also an instructor at Cuyahoga Community College. “But religion is so integral to philosophy and total world view that I like to know their religious background.”

Here’s the website for FIRE (the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education), which has taken up the cause.
