January 18, 2023SaharaReporters had reported how Hamline University, a private liberal arts school in St. Paul, Minnesota, U.S. declined to renew the contract of a professor, Erika López Prater, who showed her students mediaeval paintings depicting the Muslim Prophet Muhammad.

The 42-year-old professor was let go from her position at the university in Saint Paul despite warning students ahead of time about the 14th-century imagery. Her attorneys announced on Tuesday that she is suing the Minnesota university that fired her after a Muslim student objected to depictions of the Prophet Muhammad in a global art course, even though the university admitted to a"mistake" and plans to hold public discussions about academic freedom.

In Minnesota, a lawsuit can be started by serving a summons and a complaint to the party being sued. Attorneys for López Prater said the lawsuit was served to Hamline University on Tuesday and will soon be filed in court. The statement made no mention of the lawsuit, but stated that the university strongly supports academic freedom, which should coexist with student support. In the coming months, the university intends to hold two public discussions, one on academic freedom and student care and the other on academic freedom and religion.

López Prater has said she and the department chair were discussing her teaching a new course, but after the student's complaint she was told “her services were no longer needed.”

Arsenal fans, remember it is 19 games down and almost same figure left. Crowing at this point and later loosing the league to a rival will amount to guffaw from the latter. Just a quick reminder!

Maybe you could win something like this in the UK, but never gonna win in America. America is the closest thing to the modern day Sodom and Gomorrah. Everything about them is anti-God. We need to pray for that Nation. By the way, is there an image of Prophet Muhammad anywhere?

Take the photo to Afghanistan, Saudi Arabia etc.

Dead end. Nobody fucking cares

S.A.W they have no right to show prophet photo because no body ever take or seen him photo before because you can not take him photo with any camera his have no shadow go and do your research
