Florida Atlantic University has issued an apology for a classroom assignment that involving students writing the name “Jesus” on a sheet of paper and then stomping on the paper. The university also said the lesson will never again be used.
“We sincerely apologize for any offense this has caused,” the university said in a prepared statement. “Florida Atlantic University respects all religions and welcomes people of all faiths, backgrounds and beliefs.”
The university initially defended the Christ-bashing lesson which is included textbook titled, “Intercultural Communication: A Contextual Approach, 5th Edition.”
Fox News obtained a synopsis of the lesson taught by Deandre Poole, who also happens to be vice chair of the Palm Beach County Democratic Party.
“Have the students write the name JESUS in big letters on a piece of paper,” the lesson reads. “Ask the students to stand up and put the paper on the floor in front of them with the name facing up. Ask the students to think about it for a moment. After a brief period of silence instruct them to step on the paper. Most will hesitate. Ask why they can’t step on the paper. Discuss the importance of symbols in culture.”
Ryan Rotela, a devout Mormon, was in the classroom and refused to participate — telling television station WPEC that the assignment was insulting and offensive.
HMMmmm...
I wonder just where THAT idea came from???
Revelation 20:4 (niv)It won't be long before the TOLERANT folks on FR will be demanding mine!I saw thrones on which were seated those who had been given authority to judge. And I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded because of their testimony about Jesus and because of the word of God. They had not worshiped the beast or its image and had not received its mark on their foreheads or their hands. They came to life and reigned with Christ a thousand years.
HMMmmm...
Well; in THIS one...
ISM’s suck, but I find you very difficult to follow.
Ahh so now you divert. Shows a lack of integrity and honor.
Oh, but it gets better. The "professor" is a living cliche. And apparently the irony of the title of his book is entirely lost on this genius. Here is his faculty listing:
Deandre J. Poole Instructor (at least they haven't been so rash as to give him tenure)
Email: dpoole3@fau.edu
Areas of Specialization: Intercultural Communication, Leadership and Communication, Political Communication
Deandre Poole teaches courses in intercultural communication, ethnicity and communication, leadership and communication, and organizational communication. His research focuses on the role mediated messages play in shaping individual attitudes and beliefs concerning issues of justice and inequality, and examines how leaders, organizations, and other influential authorities dominate and oppress marginalized groups of people. Currently, he is authoring the book, Obamamania: The Rise of a Mythical Hero to be published by the Edwin Mellen Press. In addition to his academic pursuits, Dr. Poole is actively engaged in various community service projects throughout Palm Beach County.
How'd you like to be paying taxes to support this Supreme Asshat?
You may have missed the other thread in which I praised his actions.
He was RIGHT and courageous for what he didn't do; and for what he has done.
Now about the MORMONism thing??
ANY time I find that word (or it's root) on FR I am going to expose more and more of it.
If brainwashed young adults by the THOUSANDS can cross this land and this world selling a foul brand of heresy; poor little ELSIE (oooh - don't forget the ILK!) will be on FR and elsewhere [posting FACTS from SLC's propaganda machine.

bravo !
I think I’ll write my Gov and ask for an explanation. Perhaps if enough people do this we can draw some attention to the school.
You are right, I did fail to communicate well.
I apologize for that.
It costs nearly half a dollar and encourages the USPS, but I think we should mail the university a piece of paper with the name “Muhammad” on it.
Oh, I see demons all around.
In my experience, most PhDs from Howard are a joke. It is a school that stands out as a producer of badly educated, yet pompous, arrogant, hostile fools who can only earn a living in an equally lame educational setting.
Its called hijacking a thread and is trollish behavior.
Still chuckin and jivin I see.
Many do.
Sometimes, I find mySELF hard to follow after seeing what I've posted earlier.
I have WAY more thoughts churning around in my skull than I type on the keyboard.
My ideas get truncated.
I prefer to think of it as an illustration of double-mindedness.
Just WHO you callin' brainwashed; Gentile???
You are plooging too hard.
Then fight them!
