The college administration said that they were sorry that the student and her family found the course materials to be “distasteful,” but said the materials would not be modified.

This is why tenure should be out at colleges.
There is a movie out on Netflix which actually shows a Christian kid in class being told to denounce his Christianity and he refuses and challenges the professor.
Good movie but I forgot what it is called
OK the movie is called God’s not dead.
Well worth a watch if you have Netflix.
So now it really is beginning. When there are real consequences for not denying your Lord and Savior, what’s next? Burning at the stake?
The professor’s name makes me think “transgendered”. If the student is asked to give a defense to the statements that is one thing. College students should be able to support their arguments. If the statements were written as facts that can have no other conclusion that is another and unacceptable.
The course materials are distasteful but that is not the problem the problem is allowing something to stand as a fact when it is only the teacher’s opinion. One that can be disputed with evidence by any well read student.
She should have written an essay as to how the instructor proves the existence of Satan and evil and there proves that God must exist and the premise of his assignment is invalid.
I wonder if professor (ahem) requires muslims to denounce Allah/Mohamhead, or queers to denounce their deviancy?

I had a Philosophy Professor in college who hated veterans. This is back in the mid 70’s. Well I have always had a dislike for leftists and commies so being an Army vet going to engineering school on the GI bill he and I did not hit it off so well. That is an understatement. I got a D in his class while racking up A’s in all my engineering, calculus and physics courses that semester which was fine because he pissed a little in his pants when he and I ran across each other in a local pub one night.
the man needs a stroke..... zap!
She must be pretty sharp. I'm sure she won't allow some dirtbag like this professor to hold her back.
It would be interesting to see what the Professor would profess if he had some skin in the game:
Suppose a student walked into his office and pointed a gun at his head and said, “If I believe in God, I won’t shoot you for fear of eternal damnation. However, if you convince me there isn’t a God, then I will shoot you without fear of eternal consequences, as revenge for your destroying my faith. Now then, Mr. Professor, is there a God, or isn’t there?”
The teacher is an idiot.
The 16 year old student deserved a poor grade. I read her papers. As a former historian myself, I can only say that she has no understanding of history - I mean the student - and is little more than an anti-Catholic bigot.
Good on the kid.
Sick little totalitarians.
She should sue the school for failure to deliver the promised services that were paid for, namely a fair grade for a fair effort.

Yet another in a long line of so-called professors who should be scrubbing outhouse stalls.
