(Winter Haven, Florida) Professor fails student for refusing to condemn her Christian faith
Campus Reform ^ | May 5, 2015 | Kaitlyn Schallhorn

A professor at Polk State College has allegedly failed a humanities student after she refused to concede that Jesus is a “myth” or that Christianity oppresses women during a series of mandatory assignments at the Florida college.

According to a press release from the Liberty Counsel, a non-profit public interest law firm, Humanities Professor Lance "Lj" Russum gave a student a “zero” on four separate papers because the 16-year-old did not “conform to his personal worldviews of Marxism, Atheism, Feminism, and homosexuality.” The law firm has called for a full, private investigation of the professor and the course curriculum.

I guess you missed the whole “16 year old student” reference in this thread source.

All of the dual enrolled students I know have been required to take a “humanities” course.
I double checked that with the parents of those students.

Play your pointless strawman argument games all by yourself.

The higher education industry is experiencing a swift change, one you and your peers have fought against for years.

There will always exist a demonstrable need for highly effective tutors, mentors, and expert “teachers” in higher education/advanced studies.

Welcome to the repercussions of the information age!

Has anyone thought contacting the professor, and or the college’s administration or president and discussing the issue, and or complaining of the ethical and or morale relevance of the indoctrination of this professor’s students, and the damage he does to the educational process? A good way to illuminate this it to let the professor and the school know exactly what a failure this situation is the for school and the professor. He is a hateful, fervent Marxist/Atheist using his position to espouse his belief system, counter to what a professor in his position should be doing morally and ethically. What level of hate does this main have for Christianity and or Christians? As a student, if I had an issue with an overbearing professor, I countered in class with logic, and went to speak to the dean of the school if needed, and would go the president’s office. Good for the student for standing up to him.

I was mistaken in thinking he could be transgendered. He certainly is filled with loathing for the Truth.

Yes, the name of the movie is ‘God’s Not Dead’. It is a movie of faith, courage and conviction. It is still on Netflix and I recommend all Christian and those of other faiths or non-faith to view the movie.

A professor elsewhere in Florida did the Stomp on Jesus exercise, and that college suspended him. At first, they suspended the student, then it was discovered that the professor was a county Democrat party official.

Simply use the bibliography from The Case for Christ.
