A professor at Polk State College has allegedly failed a humanities student after she refused to concede that Jesus is a “myth” or that Christianity oppresses women during a series of mandatory assignments at the Florida college.
According to a press release from the Liberty Counsel, a non-profit public interest law firm, Humanities Professor Lance "Lj" Russum gave a student a “zero” on four separate papers because the 16-year-old did not “conform to his personal worldviews of Marxism, Atheism, Feminism, and homosexuality.” The law firm has called for a full, private investigation of the professor and the course curriculum.

Or something. Go watch Ann Barnhardt's videos about the Vendee Genocide during the time of the French Revolution.
After doing a bit of searching——he is, I think, from the Oakland area. W. Lance Russum— probably daddy-—is an Alameda lawyer. This clown is a hardcore radical simp of the feminist, marxist, racist, sexist, super leftist persuasion and I am willing to bet some cash that he is queer as a Hawaii birth certificate.
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?”
It might be an urban legend but I still love the mind picture I get whenever I read it.
Yep then the professor would know what it like to placed between a rock and a hard place. BANG!
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.
Ditto for me when I attended Drexel Institute on the GI bill in the early sixties. My industry coordinator told me veterans should not be welcome at the school...made things difficult for me ...downgraded my industry reports...gave me crappy industry assignments.....threatened to get me expelled if I didn't quit pointing at him during consults.

Good on the kid.
God is not Dead.
Celtic studies and Feminist theory.
Methinks the good professor has some unresolved issues.
Just a guess.
A Christian student does not belong in such a class.
Maybe not even in a university that has such a class and employs such a professor.

Blessed is the man[a]
who walks not in the counsel of the wicked,
nor stands in the way of sinners,
nor sits in the seat of scoffers;
Very good movie.
I teach middle / high school-age Sunday School students. We’ve been discussing life away from home and church (walking the tightrope without a net) for several weeks.
Kids gotta invite God to go with them wherever they go.
In some areas you can do 1/2 day school 1/2 day college if you are 16 or over.
I don’t know her, but you have to respect a kid that will stand up to a jerk like this ‘professor’.
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.

Tenure had a place in a different American. Today the types of people teaching college don't deserve tenure anymore than a fry cook at McDonalds 'deserves' tenure...
Yet another in a long line of so-called professors who should be scrubbing outhouse stalls.
I guess I lucked out. Philosophy was my major and 2 of my professors were WWII vets.
