A Catholic professor, Kenneth Howell, at the University of Illinois was fired for an anti-gay and anti-trans email to students. He's saying that it violates his "academic freedom." He's an adjunct professor, and the university is claiming that he wasn't fired, just that his contract wasn't renewed.
