Controversies over alleged racist viewsHe is a graduate of the U.S. Naval Academy and a former submarine officer and media spokesman for the Atlantic Fleet. On March 7, 2007, John Sharpe was temporarily relieved of duty pending a Navy inquiry into allegations that he was involved in supremacist activities.[6] In 2008, the Catholic University of America canceled a lecture series in which Sharpe was to speak after the Southern Poverty Law Center said Sharpe is anti-Semitic, though no review of his written opinion had occurred.[7] Sharpe later filed suit against Landmark Communications, claiming defamation in a news story. The suit sought $5 million in compensatory damages and $350,000 in punitive damages. In April 2009, Norfolk Circuit Court judge Norman A. Thomas issued his opinion. In it, Thomas grants a summary judgment to the defendants on the major issues of the case, concluding that Sharpe’s writings "do espouse anti-Semitic and racist views...No reasonable person can read Sharpe’s individual writings and conclude that he espouses anything other than a deep, abiding and pervasive suspicion of and hostility toward Jews, whether considered as a collective people, religion, nation or ethnic group."[8] Speaking engagementsIn 2005, Sharpe visited Australia to speak on Catholic social teachings. In conjunction with the Australian Thomas More Centre, he gave a talk entitled The Third Way: Distributism and the New Politics to a breakfast scheduled between the Annual National Civic Council Conference and the Thomas More Summer School. The event was recorded in the journal AD2000.[9] References1. ^"Officer denies accusations of anti-Semitism", Navy Times 2. ^{{cite news|last=Ma|first=Ken|title=College students' blackface stunt creates backlash|newspaper=The Orlando Sentinel|date=November 24, 2005|location=Orlando, FL}} 3. ^{{cite news|last=Wiggins|first=Ovetta|title=Racial Slurs Make For Ugly Commute; Vandals Deface Bowie Church, Sound Barrier|newspaper=The Washington Post|date=April 26, 2006|location=Washington, D.C.}} 4. ^{{cite news|last=Dininny|first=Shannon|title=Civil-rights history gets boost; Whitman College students to teach subject this week|newspaper=The Seattle Times|date=January 16, 2012|location=Seattle, WA}} 5. ^SPLCenter.org: The Dirty Dozen 6. ^Carrier PAO relieved pending investigation Navy Times 7. ^Catholic University nixes lectures, The Washington Times 8. ^Norfolk Circuit Court judge Norman A.
