But I did find this ...
They would have had a jihad on their campus within hours.
And most often by the ilk who'll 'apologize' today with full intention of doing whatever it was again as soon as the heat dies down and/or no one is looking.
The college really should apologize for making parents pay to have their kids stomp on a piece of paper with anything written on it and calling it college level instruction.
When caught, they were ordered to trample on fumie, which were carved wooden figures of Jesus Christ. If they refused, they were tortured to death. This happened to thousands and thousands of Japanese Christians.
That's not what this university did, of course. But it's the idea that Christians can be pressured by symbolic acts to betray their Faith in Christ... a faith which is no longer tolerated by the power structure.
Here’s the REALLY sad thing about this....ONLY ONE STUDENT REFUSED!!!! THAT is DISGUSTING!!
What about students named Jesus? Wouldn’t that be considered anti Hispanic (and therefore racist)?
Where’s a picture of Deandre Poole?? I want to see that hideous person.
The entire scene (of stomping religious symbols) is right out of “That Hideous Strength” (C.S. Lewis)
“Florida Atlantic University respects all religions and welcomes people of all faiths, backgrounds and beliefs.”
Yeah I’m sure that statement is on their glossy brochure but it has been shown to be a lie. Sack the anti- Christian bigot who did this and then reprimand anyone else who had a hand in the the okaying of it. Then I might start to feel that there is some truth to the statement.

Almost straight from C.S. Lewis’ “That Hideous Strength”. The iconoclastic winnowing of the faithless at university level to serve the “Head”. A prescient novel dealing with the unholy melding of progressive academics and authoritarian government. Sounds like the instructor is a talent scout for the progressive machine, identifying those of faith, marking them for further attention and greater attempts to either corrupt or destroy them. The stompers get good grades and move to the next level.
This is the time of separating the goats from the sheep.
The “prof” was a Phd (sic) from Howard.
What a joke.
A classic non-appology apology. They didn't say "we're sorry we were so offensive". They are saying, "we're sorry you were offended".
“Florida Atlantic University respects all religions and welcomes people of all faiths, backgrounds and beliefs.”
Obviously they don’t.

Everything is a symbol in this country. What if someone wrote gay “marriage” on a paper and stomped on it? Or a name dear to death cult members? Or the name of the current occupant of the oval office?
The outrage would be overwhelming.
The hypocrisy is overwhelming.
Not good enough.
All these people should lose their jobs and the ripple should flow through all of thuggish, Godless academia.
No; this fella was NOT the only one to fail to stomp!
