"Dear Intimidated Christian: I want to thank you for coming by the office last week to vent your frustrations over the anti-Christian remarks your professor has been making in the classroom.... [H]e was wrong to say that expecting a pay raise would make him 'as stupid as those Christians who still think that Christ is returning after 2000 years.' ....My main reason for writing you today is to convince you to change your mind about letting this incident go without making a complaint. You admitted in my office that you would not even consider going to his class wearing a cross around your neck because you would be afraid of flunking the course. If you were serious, that means that you ... have just paid tuition to the State of North Carolina to have one of its employees insult your religion (or, as you said, your personal Savior) and to infringe upon your constitutional right to freely exercise your religion.... I want you to demand an apology from him for calling you stupid previously.... You should also insist upon an in-class apology, so that he will no longer intimidate other Christians.... If you get your apology, you will have made your point and the professor will likely think twice before again spewing his anti-Christian remarks in the classroom. If, on the other hand, you experience retaliation, I will make certain that you get a lawyer, free of charge. I will also urge you to contact the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education (www.thefire.org ).... If the professor wants to stand by his remarks you can help him to do so by printing his name and his exact quotation in a letter recounting your experience in his classroom. The letter could be sent to donors, the alumni association, and to local churches telling them the truth about the institution that relies so heavily upon their donations. Remember that you are angry with your professor because you believe that he is wrong and you are right. If you are right, you will be taking a very powerful ally into this battle. On the other hand, your professor wants to save the rain forests because they're pretty and he likes monkeys. You aren't really afraid of this guy, are you?" -- UNC-Wilmington Professor Mike S. Adams
It's well worth it. (it's free)
LOL!Pretty much sums it up.
I had an Art History teacher in art school who was a very flamboyant homosexual. During his lectures, he liked to throw jabs at Christians. He blamed the broken arms and heads of ancient Greek statues on early Christians who would "sneak up behind them and push them over because they believed they contained evil spirits."
One day he commented that he didn't like men with long hair. He said, "I think a man should look like a man." From the back of the room, I said, "...and they should act like men too."
I barely passed that class.
Below please find a formatted version.
Best regards,

Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts, And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? For since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of creation. II Peter 3:3&4
Looks like the professor got a mention in Peter's 2nd letter.
