A student at Florida Atlantic University was directed by a professor to stomp on a piece of paper with the word “Jesus” written on it. The university is arguing that it was all done in the name of “debate.” So when the young man, a Mormon, complained he was immediately suspended from the class. That sounds like debate, right?
Fox News’ Todd Starnes reports:
“I’m not going to be sitting in a class having my religious rights desecrated,” student Ryan Rotela told television station WPEC. “I truly see this as I’m being punished.”
Rotela, who is a devout Mormon, said the instructor in his Intercultural Communications class told the students to write the name “Jesus” on a sheet of paper. Then, they were told to put the paper on the floor.
“He had us all stand up and he said ‘Stomp on it,’” Rotela said. “I picked up the paper from the floor and put it right back on the table.
The young college student told the instructor, Deandre Poole, that the assignment was insulting and offensive.
“I said to the professor, ‘With all due respect to your authority as a professor, I do not believe what you told us to do was appropriate,’” Rotela said. ‘I believe it was unprofessional and I was deeply offended by what you told me to do.’”
Rotela took his concerns to Poole’s supervisor – where he was promptly suspended from the class.
Starnes
points out that the professor authored a book titled, “Obamamania: The Rise of a Mythical Hero.”
I wonder if in the next class they’ll stomp on his book.

This is indoctrination into hatred. Jesus is a Person with a human being's soul and therefore must be accorded all respect as a Person, in the same way as Obama, Poole and every other Person ever created and Jesus Christ begotten. This is disgusting. Rotela is proving the mistake in not having Mitt Romney

and more:"for you are men sacred to me, for I, the Lord, your God, am sacred.”
Indoctrination in class hatred is the communists' way of keeping their boot on the neck of a free people. HATRED of what you and I hold sacred: God, freedom and the sovereign human person. Human beings are sacred. This is nothing more than tyranny. Next, it will be stomping on a person's face.(after taking his possessions.).
Our Creator endows our unalienable rights. The rights the state gives the state may take away…Thomas Jefferson. Jesus Christ is a sovereign PERSON. The PERSON is the purpose of our constitution. Sue, sue, sue for unconstitutional abrogation of peaceable assembly, and use of public funds to spread totalitarianism and instill violence in our communities. The devil has intelligence high and above that of the human being, but the fundamental meaning is that I OWN YOU and your personhood.
The atheist uses his free will to reject God and imposes his act of free will against God upon free men through belittlement, ridicule, hypocrisy, insult, disrespect and finally death. The boot of atheism on the neck. Get up men. God is on our side and the atheist has the devil. Guess who is going to win?
JESUS CHRIST IS A SOVEREIGN PERSON, NOT A SYMBOL NOT ANY MORE THAN YOU OR I AM A SYMBOL. Under cut man's dignity and control the masses.

Let us pray for such misguided, hateful people like this arrogant, disrespectful professor. Let us also pray for more students like that young Mormon student.
