Media fail: Stomp Jesus FAU professor is a Dem. Party official

A South Florida college professor’s bizarre classroom antics have made waves for their shocking display of religious intolerance. But they were even more instructive in educating the rest of us on the alarming thought process of yet another Palm Beach County Democratic leader.

Florida Atlantic University professor Deandre Poole instructed his intercultural communications class earlier this month to write the name “Jesus” on a piece of paper, then drop it on the floor and stomp on it.

One student, a devout Mormon, was so so disturbed by the exercise that he complained to school officials, saying Poole had offended his religious convictions. The school responded by suspending the student from the class.

While the incident has made the news, the media has failed to report a key component of Poole’s resume: He is vice-chairman of the Palm Beach County Democratic Party. His recent actions add fire to an already-disturbing pattern of hate coming out of the local party.

If our party was in any way smart, we’d have representatives denouncing this man, and tying him to Democrats in general.

Why is everyone afraid of offending Muslims? You can’t find one media outlet that would either vilify or mock Mohammad (pork BBQ unto him)?????

“One student, a devout Mormon, was so so disturbed by the exercise....”

.
Was he the only one who was disturbed? The rest must’ve been worried more about getting a passing grade.

BINGO

Will the Democrat Party denounce Deandre Poole’s behavior?

Does this sort of hatred and intolerance represent the Party?

Is this view typical among top party officials?

This hatred in unacceptable.

Will the Party ask for her resignation?

etc etc etc

Why would the Democrats denounce him have you forgotten
the DNC convention where they took God out of their platform and only faked putting him back in when word got out. The democrats are not good if I say anymore about the way I feel about them I would get banned for life.

About the republicans—why don't they go after the dems? I really think most of the republicans are made out of the same cloth as the democrats and secretly share the same demise of the US as founded as the dems do because they don't and won't do anything!!! There are a few Republicans who stand up for freedom but I fear they are few and far between. The whole sad state of affairs is depressing and it seems like every day it just gets worse.

Shouldn't this person be deemed mentally defective and treated accordingly? If veterans can be prohibited from owning firearms because of PTSD, then this goofy professor should be under watch.

Because no one wants to free-fall from 39,000 feet surrounded by eight tons of burning kerosene and 300 screaming passengers?/s;)

I don’t think that offending Muslims will stop those animals from bombing or trying to bomb planes. At least by offending them we can show them what we think of them and their pedophile prophet Mo-HAM-mad ....
