Campus Persecution
Read It takes guts to stand up for Jesus.
The "God-haters," discrimmination, persecution and harassment by the liberal left of this campus makes national news. Read the smut pages.
On campus I observed the following activities:
Black Americans and homosexuals are favored for employment. Years ago it was called "discrimination" to select people for employment based on ethnicity, age, sex, religion, political party, and so forth. Nowadays, nobody cares except those being discriminated against.
What a crock of lies! LOL!
To mention God or appear to be discussing Christianity in any way is strictly prohibited at the university. However, any and all other religions whether middle-eastern and satanic are acceptable.
I personally experienced the following situations.
- Faculty mocked God. They laughed at me for going to church and because I believed in God. Deliberate remarks and discussions were made against God and church in front of me. One professor in an office next to me would speak very loudly with people in his office cracking jokes and laughing at people who go to church.
- I placed a 2 x 3 size picture of Jesus from the university's own school newspaper, The Lantern, on my office door and an unknown person ripped it in two right off of my door.
- I placed invitations to my church in the staff and faculty mailboxes and I was told that was "inappropriate for the workplace," but a faculty member placed invitations for a party at his house in all of the staff and faculty mailboxes and that was okay.
- One year at Halloween time, I placed information regarding the origins of the holiday in the faculty and staff mailboxes. I was warned never to do that again. It was again "inappropriate" and would "not be tolerated."
- At Christmas time, other employees were allowed to hang up decorations celebrating Hannukah, but I was not allowed to even write "Happy Birthday Jesus" on a desk calendar let alone hanging some decor at my desk.
- I was told by several coworkers that it would be best if I kept quiet about my relationship with God.
- I was told by one of my bosses (and more than one person!) that there was "no place for God at this university." I was even told at least twice to "take [my] God and get out."
Read the conflict of interest, and The New Thought Police by Tammy Bruce and Dr. Laura Schlessinger.
The New Thought Police written by Tammy Bruce, the self-described lesbian feminist activist, argues in this provocative book that our fundamental freedoms of expression are under withering assault from powerful special interest groups on the Left. According to Ms. Bruce, the current attempts to silence Dr. Laura are only the latest in a long line of attacks on people whose opinions do not conform with the agendas championed by national feminist, racial, and gay organizations. From rigid speech codes on college campuses to the knee-jerk use of such labels as "racist," "homophobic," and "hateful" in an attempt to socially ostracize people with opposing viewpoints, speaking one's mind today has become increasingly dangerous.
What makes this book's thesis especially powerful is that the author is a progressive who has served in a leadership position at NOW, an organization she now decries as a foot soldier in the war against free speech. "Ironically," writes Ms. Bruce, "it is the progressives who, while seemingly committed to freedom of expression, attempt to exact severe social punishments on anyone who espouses an idea or opinion that challenges their status quo. Perhaps it's time for all of us to reread George Orwell's '1984.'"
