Make a thousand crosses. We must confront and ignore such hate and ignorance every time, in every venue. We must put them down by being louder, stronger and outnumber the basterds.

“The college has never intended to circumvent expressions of religious or artistic freedom or violate any laws with regard to religious freedom.”
Which is why one of these tolerant wonderful people essentially compared a student to the Nazis.

This “instructor” knows exactly what sort of response his message is designed to provoke. It’s a page straight out of the Soviet agitprop playbook. He’s just another useful idiot of global communism.

The class is for learning how to make ceramic stuff. Crosses aren’t as complicated apparently as the course curriculum would like. Nothing wrong with crosses but the next step would be to make a flat pancake and call it a masterpiece. The guy really needs to try harder and do a better job. Making crosses is one way to get out of doing any substantial work.

I don’t know anything about Mesquite. The school looked heavily black/Hispanic from the website, which is very poor by the way. The interim president is Jean Conway and I sent her an email expressing my negative reactions. jconway@dcccd.edu. Let them know the world is watching.

A crucifix has a figure of Jesus’ body on it, so I guess this human form, celebrated in art and culture for millennia, is a cookie cutter image? I have seen thousands of crucifixes, often very original>

I'm glad Mr. Mitchell is suing. It is long past time that we as Christians fight back against this crap.
The irony in all this is that it is the instructor who is acting quite Nazi-like in banning any form of religious expression.

Let’s say you are right. How is that reconciled with the swastika comparison?

Nationally and locally the Left is in a growing panic as they watch their sty collapse. They strike back with attacks like this because they are frustrated that people have awakened to their game.

The cross has been offensive for almost 2000 years now. A sign of God’s love and our sinfulness.
