Sheffield University, a public university in England, has expelled Felix Ngole, a graduate student in social work, after it found he'd posted a Bible verse condemning homosexual acts in a private Facebook discussion. A university panel said that while he had a right to his opinion, his remarks could have offended some people and would make it difficult for him to work as a social worker.
