A transgender professor from Spring Arbor Township is at the center of a dispute at Lansing Community College about classroom discussions on homosexuality and gender identity.

A student filed a complaint July 1 with the college against Julie Nemecek for discussing issues she faced in the workplace as a result of being transgender. Later, the same student amended the complaint after a gay man spoke in Nemecek's classroom. The speaker then filed a complaint against the student.

This occurred at a college for heavens sake!!  Unless the student had a crush on the teacher, how can the teacher/student relationship have been compromised??  I am guessing the kid has an FRC or FOF membership card though.
