Given that it’s almost a sure bet the school does nothing to prevent “christianophobic” speech from their faculty, I hope they get taken to the cleaners here.

But a crucifix in a jar of urine is not only OK, it’s “art!”

She showed two depictions of Mohammed, both done by Muslims. One is from 1307 from Persia, the other one from the Ottoman Empire if I remember correctly. Obviously it has not always been forbidden to depict Mohammed. But one complaint from one Muslim immigrant was enough to get her fired.

Islam doesn’t allow photos of Mohamed because they’re afraid someone will identify him as the guy who cleans the septic with his bare hands.

I kid, I kid. We all know Muslims don’t really dispose of their poop.
