It’s apparently okay to read history books at Northern Arizona University, but not the Good Book.
Mark Holden, a 22-year-old history major, tells me he was ordered to leave a lecture hall after his professor objected to him reading the Bible before the start of the class.
Holden alleges that Professor Heather Martel ordered him to put away the Good Book around six minutes before a scheduled history class. It’s unclear why she objected to the reading of God’s Word.
According to her biography, Professor Martel is a noted scholar who is working on an essay titled, “The Gender Amazon: Indigenous Female Masculinity in Early Modern European Representations of Contact.” She also teaches classes on Global Queer History and Feminist Theory.
When Holden declined to stop reading his Bible, the professor summoned Derek Heng, the chairman of the department. Heng then proceeded to explain the situation.
Holden recorded the conversation and turned it over to congressional candidate Kevin Cavanaugh. In turn, Cavanaugh provided me with a copy of the audio.

“If you are a Christian, you are being targeted,” Cavanaugh told me. “Christians are being silenced.”
Cavanaugh said he got involved in Holden’s case because stopping the radicalization of public universities is a part of his campaign platform.
“If free speech is not permitted on a public university campus, federal funding should be refused,” he told me. “If you want to limit free speech, don’t take federal money.”
“We have seen on this campus and across the nation that people are being punished for their Christian views,” Cavanaugh said.
That may or may not be the case here – but based on that audio recording – there’s not much wiggle room.
The cold hard reality is a student was yanked out of a classroom for reading the Bible.

Every liberal is a violent totalitarian thug.
There is no educational value in those teacher’s classes and her paper sounds like another waste of time
Keep in mind that the student was told that he couldn’t read his Bible or have the Bible open on his desk even BEFORE the class started. He was not disrupting the class in any way. The lesbian studies lady teacher simply did not want to even see the Bible. Seems like the Bible is to her, almost like a cross supposedly is to a vampire.
There are days when I lament that Lewis Grizzard left us way too soon. An essay with a title like THAT would have been irresistible fodder for another bestselling book!
First they came for the cake makers, then the homeless feeders, then the bible readers, then they came for the Rabbis and Pastors, then they they came for me
I bet if he had been reading the Koran, he would have been applauded.
The BIBLE is a history book. What’s the problem?
“Associate Faculty, Women’s and Gender Studies” — What a damned waste. This BS shouldn’t be allowed in any classroom.

Bingo. This poor woman is an abject fool and does not know it. Wisdom comes through knowledge of the Lord, something she will never know.
Yet the article states they are unclear why she objected. LOL
Time for leftist, Nazi professors to seriously sweat being thrown out of 7th floor windows.
I’m willing to bet that only certain students are forbidden from reading whatever they want before class. I’m quite sure that only students who meet certain criteria get this treatment. Privilege, and so forth.
Remember when reading Playboy would get you in trouble?
