    The state has no role in this story. This is about a private university firing a private person. "Progressivism arose during the Age of Enlightenment out of the belief that civility in Europe was improving due to the application of new empirical knowledge to the governance of society." according to Wikipedia

  progressive in protecting everyone's freedom of religion, which is a good idea in theory but the application here is over zealous

    This also has nothing to do with freedom of religion. Freedom of religion is not the freedom to impose your religious beliefs upon other people, nor is it a right of preventing other people's speech offending you religiously. It merely means that you can practice your religion freely without being prevented from doing so.
