Law School Dean Resigns After Saying Women Must ‘Veil Their Form’

Previous writings uncovered by University of Oklahoma students.

An associate dean at the University of Oklahoma College of Law has resigned after the discovery of writings in which he attacked same-sex marriage and said women must “veil their form” to help men. Prof. Brian McCall left Tuesday after his previous remarks were labeled “homophobic” and “sexist” by a student newspaper. His 2014 book—titled To Build the City of God: Living as Catholics in a Secular Age—calls gay marriage “insanity” and one section is dedicated to “Women in Pants and Similar Frauds.” In one section, he wrote: “Women must veil their form to obscure its contours out of charity towards men.” McCall told USA Today that he was “forced by a mob reaction to resign my administrative responsibilities” and said that he was “saddened that I have had to give up the opportunity to work for our students simply because of my sincerely held Catholic beliefs.”
