“Have the students write the name JESUS in big letters on a piece of paper,” the lesson reads. “Ask the students to stand up and put the paper on the floor in front of them with the name facing up. Ask the students to think about it for a moment. After a brief period of silence instruct them to step on the paper. Most will hesitate. Ask why they can’t step on the paper. Discuss the importance of symbols in culture.”

The sadder but truer lesson for adults is after stomping on the paper with the name of a probable icon is:

Why in the world would you follow that instruction blindly?
Does this have any meaning to why tragedies are committed by blindly following idiots in power?
Would teaching adults the meaning of refusal to follow orders be an important concept in a free society?

Where do these people come from? Zimbabwe, Mexico, Columbia?

My crystal ball tells me that there will be lawyers flocking to the side of this young man.

Take this one to the Supreme Court. Our Leftist academic institutions need to be punished for employing professors with such outrageous bigotry toward Christians.

And really, are Christian parents going to keep sending their money and their children to Florida Atlantic, where its employees are so hostile to Jesus? No, true Christians won’t.

“Rozalia Williams” and her brainchild. Guess every student matters except Christians.

This is what happens when liberals gain control of anything, but in the end this will NOT go well for the school - bank on it.

...Rotela is facing a litany of charges – including an alleged violation of the student code of conduct, acts of verbal, written or physical abuse, threats, intimidation, harassment, coercion or other conduct which threaten the health, safety or welfare of any person.”

Those are pretty serious charges. I have to wonder what exactly he did or said to warrant a charge like this. Could just be that the university isn't in sync, the department handling the situation their way and the university admin handling it their way. Either way, it doesn't speak well for the university.

"Fox News obtained a synopsis of the lesson taught by Deandre Poole, who also happens to be vice chair of the Palm Beach County Democratic Party."

"...you may not attend class or contact any of the students involved in this matter – verbally or electronically – or by any other means,”

He should hire an attorney and file suit against the University. Then his attorney can "contact any of the students involved in this matter – verbally or electronically – or by any other means.”

The fascists are in control. When the left is in power they show who they really are - totalitarian, brutal, fascist dictators. Under their rule, there is no freedom of thought. Dissent is punished severely.

This is so wrong on so many levels it is hard to describe.
THis School is the poster boy for anti christian Bigotry.
The student should be reinstated immediately.if not, the school should lose all Govt. Monies and all fed. loan monies.
The “Professor” should be fired sumarily, with no Benes no retirement.

The university, and more to the point, the professor and the director that are punishing him,

should be made to pay for his education at an institution of his choice anywhere in the USA.

That's right --- I had forgotten that scene in "That Hideous Strength" --- a books which should be on everybody's reading list, by the way.

And for those who like accurate historic fiction, try "Silence" by Shusaku Endo. It's about the suppression of the Catholic missionaries and Christian-believing Japanese in the 17th century.

This is exactly what the Tokugawa Shogunate did: required people to stomp in figures of Jesus Chris and the Blessed Virgin Mary. If they refused, they were tortured to death. Happened to thousands.

I read it about 30 years ago and still call it to mind from time to time: excellently written litarature, not egregiously graphic or lurid at all, but in the heart, disturbing.
