Same-sex marriage constitutionality discussed
Law professors discussed the constitutionality of same-sex marriage Tuesday at the law school.
Lee Sprang of the University of Toledo and Joanne Brant of ONU discussed the topic that the Supreme Court recently decided making same-sex marriage legal in every state. The debate continues (know who Kim Davis is?) since the issue affects states' rights, religious freedom, due process, public opinion, and other aspects of American society.
There were no banners or tables with literature set up espousing one side or the other. About 100 people attended, mostly law students and faculty. Lima newspaper and TV were present along with The Ada Icon.
Prof. Brant has taught at ONU since 1991. She is now seeing some second generation students in her classes. (Monty Siekerman)
