Here's the situation: Gina, a college student whom the American Center for Law and Justice is representing, is facing discrimination in her Intro to Philosophy class, a required course at her college. Gina had perfect grades on her Philosophy class assignments - until she took a stand for her faith, in opposition to her professor. The professor has not only docked her grades - he has also repeatedly derided Gina for her faith. (Does ''derided'' seem too strong a word? Decide for yourself: He has called her ''close-minded,'' ''uncritical,'' ''hurtful,'' and ''blinded by belief'' simply because she would not adopt his way of thinking. He said that to engage in dialogue, you have to at least acknowledge the possibility that God does not exist! Also, students could opt out of the final if they would put in writing that ''we have no free will.'')This would be an outrage (and utterly unconstitutional) even if it only affected Gina - but it doesn't stop there. If this professor can get away with doing this to Gina, anyone can do it to YOU ... or your children, your grandchildren, your loved ones, your neighbors, members of your church ... anyone. This goes on daily in public institutions all across America but especially in public schools and Universities. Another strong reason for Strong Community Based Christian Education! A safe haven for the knowledge of God to be revealed and nurtured.
Grace and Peace,
Ed
