Ooops fogot my comments...

Sorry to hear prayer is a no - no at your school here in the USA, the country where freedom and diversity are brought up daily. Well except in cases where some in power fear the strength in others beliefs. Don’t worry I and others will pray for you and hope that you will eventually come to your sense.

Derek Piazza is not only an anti-Christian bigot, but also has no sense of compassion for his fellow professor who was not only ill but welcomed his students in praying for him.

If you don’t like to to hear a prayer for a sick colleague, then do what Timothy Leary told the counterculter to do: “Tune Out.”

Freedom of religion is just like freedom of speech. You have a right to speak but you don’t have a right to be heard. “Professor” Piazza, just ignore them praying.....Just like how I ignore secular progressives like you who spue out liberal garbage.

Screw the school. My advice: tell them to transfer, save the legal fees and let them be martyrs at the altar of militant atheism. Go to a new school where they might be accepted. Sounds like the college doesn’t deserve kids with the common decency to pray for someone under misfortune to begin with.

California is so weird.

"They were quickly ostracized and told not to pray and that such praying was not allowed on campus."

This ought to teach those kids that they should be following a 'Religion Of Peace'. If they had, they not only would have been allowed to pray but would have been given their own room for the purpose.

Do I really need to add /sarc here?

Derek Piazza, who shared the office, entered and told the student to stop praying.

Was this a Christian prayer -- I suspect the good professor would have said nothing had it been a prayer to Allah in Arabic.

Just my opinion of course.

The Marxists would kill Christians if they could. They just can’t get away with it....( yet).

Brad Dacus of the Pacific Justice Institute (PJI)

These guys are good. They do Pro Bono work for Christian groups, etc. When we built a new children's building at our Church, the city council started putting restrictions on our hours of operation, use of the building, etc. as a condition of giving us a permit to begin construction. Brad introduced himself at a packed city council meeting and the bureaucrats backed off.

Brad also helped us hammer one of the local high screwells that was mandating all students (freshman) take a rather graphic sex ed class. Now students can opt out of the class and not be penalized for it.
