— Ace That's right, he's not been suspended (as the student reporting him was) due to his lesson being almost deliberately crafted to have no legitimate purpose, but because, you see, the University cannot guarantee his safety with you bloodthirsty maniacs lurking about.
FAU instructor Deandre Poole, Ph.D., has been placed on administrative leave effective immediately for safety reasons. As a result of the reaction to a recent exercise in Dr. PooleÂ’s intercultural communications class, the instructorÂ’s personal safety has been compromised.
In addition, this decision will prevent further disruption to the day-to-day operations of Florida Atlantic University.
Sexton adds:
By suggesting that Poole is on leave for his own safety, the school manages to get rid of him while simultaneously making him the victim.
I think that's part of it but not all of it. Being the aggrieved party is only half of the equation; the equation still needs a Designated Villain. Which means you. As usual.
I don't think an argument about the lesson itself would turn out so well for the professor or the local school. The activity seems narrowly crafted to teach only one slender cohort of the populace something about giving up their symbols.
Instead, they resort to what I'm calling the political collateral attack: changing the topic from the terms of actual debate (where they'd lose) to something they're more comfortable arguing. To wit, how awful and monstrous and violent and irrational these right-wing maniacs are, as a personal matter.
Rather than discuss the issue as educated adults with good-faith intents discuss things, they always return to the primitive urge inborn in us, and practiced first as children: Just calling their opponents names.
Hah! mama winger--
I don't get it. The safest place for him to be would be on the college campus. It's a gun free zone, isn't it?
Funny that.

But if you disagree with the dominant, left-wing paradigm, you are, by definition, unreasonable.
All of their political theater flows from this assumption.
And it works!

I disagree.
The left bends over backwards to paint Islam as the ROP. It is the West's formative religions that are evil.
They see Islam as anti-imperialist, anti-capitalist, anti-Western, so in their warped world view, Islam is a good thing, and part of the narrative.

Well, I'm a believer in do unto others, so if he likes stomping on Jesus, then I'll enjoy stomping on him, therefore they may be correct here.
I'm just saying.

Ahh, but he only likes stomping on the name of Jesus. So the proper demonstration would be to have a few thousand people appear at the college and write his name down and stomp on it.
Clearly, by his own standards, this would not be inappropriate or threatening at all.

I understand that, but as Jesus is not in physical form at this time, writing his name is invoking the spirit of him, therefore requesting his presence, so stomping on his name requesting his presence is similar to stomping on him, is it not?

I think the answer to that is, "When/if God explicitly tells us to." It doesn't seem to be his SOP since Jesus arrived on the scene.
Although I would be ALL for it.
One thing I think Christians forget, speaking for myself, is that God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit "WANT" us, but don't "NEED" us. God can defend himself without our help, just fine.
He has only been kind enough to include us in His "program", which of course involves showing loving kindness, and inviting as many as we can to spend eternity with Him.
Now everybody, GET OFF MY LAWN.

Mmm, Samoa, now I want girl scout cookies.

We should not worry too much at this little debacle. (o.O ) This is but the beginning of offenses. Whatever compensation the student does or does not receive here on Earth is a pittance compared to what they have gained.
In a different light, the student was actually blessed with an opportunity to defy the zeitgeist of this evil world and stay true to Christ. Perhaps, in a moment of reflection, the student might actually crack a grin at that realization.
A toast to the young man or woman in question. May they show the same strength the next time they are challenged, and the time after that, as well!

With the Obama Administration supporting the final treaty draft, the General Assembly vote was 154 to 3, with 23 abstentions.
American gun rights activists, though, insist the treaty is riddled with loopholes and is unworkable in part because it includes “small arms and light weapons” in its list of weaponry subject to international regulations. They do not trust U.N assertions that the pact is meant to regulate only cross-border trade and would have no impact on domestic U.S. laws and markets.

I both agree and disagree with both you to an extent.
I get the idea of the lesson (showing how symbols, and names effect our understanding of things and change our valuation of them.) However, this particular attempt at a "lesson" was moronic.
As I said above, not every lesson requires an explicit in your face demonstration. Hell, a discussion about flag burning (without the actual burning of the flag) would have pretty much accomplished the same thing. If you're so stupid you can't understand the point in question without feeling it for yourself, you're a moron who doesn't belong in college.

Bullshit. A 10 year old gets this. A 10 year old can tell you that some words are more hurtful when directed in a specific way.
Now if you need to start a class with this basic information I get that. Sometimes to start discussion you start from a commonly accepted (and known) idea. You state the obvious, as seed of discussion.
But the actions what a load of crock, that's just being in your face with the intent of generating controversy because you're a crappy teacher who can't start a discussion without enraging people first.

Well that's different. You're wearing the art, not the shirt. The shirt's just there to hold the art. The jacket's there to keep you warm. The Ace tee is there to make you cool.

The scary part of this story is that it probably didn't take a meeting, or a phone call, or anything else coordinated to frame this fuckstick professor as the victim.
Liberals seems to know how to do this at birth. It's organic to them. Framing themselves as victims and republicans as the monster oppressors of the downtrodden is as natural as breathing to the left.
Unless and until we figure out how to match them at this game, fearlessly (knowing whatever we say will be framed as racist) and shamelessly (being as willing as they are to construct straw men of cosmic proportions), we will lose in the court of public opinion.
If you want to win, learn how to play the fucking game.

"Hey lady keep it clean, this is a family blog"
Not a problem. Search for the album cover "Whipped Cream and Other Delights"...

It's a sort of ideological racism, if you will.

Umm, we young people stopped using the word "cool" ages ago. Now I think the correct term is "phat."

my favorite jell-o concoction is orange jello with mandarin oranges in it, with cool whip spread over the top and chopped pecans on top of that. Is that a massive enough weapon of Christian destruction?
No, it pales in comparison to this Assault Muffin of Doom.
BTW, where is that guy's car. I'll wash it for him.

Herb Alpert and the Tiajuana Brass? My dad had that album. What an album cover.

Theoretically I don't have to pay tuition to learn Spanish or Math either. It's an entry level communications course, the point is just to generate some topics for a quick paper to satisfy the "introduction" and "multidisciplinary" thing most degrees go for these days.
But I'm old school I guess, I still wish college were a place for deeper inquiry not a expensive trade school.

339Paul Ryan's media people are in Boston casting a commercial of some sort. I've been invited. Maybe this is my ticket to Washington hackdom?
Ryan just wants to slap you up side your head for picking those sucky colors.

Obama just finds out that aluminum is not magnetic?
Next week, Obama discovers that most of the gas in the Atmosphere is nitrogen.
And then that there is more water in the atmosphere than CO2, and that water is a stronger "green house gas" than CO2.
Regulate water in the atmosphere!
Science!!

"Child and Family Studies" is heavy on "Free-throws in the modern family" and "Layups -- how do they affect childhood development?".

Yes, my Queen. Very long lead time on those. But we might have a connection at the factory. A Mr. Gita, I believe.
Yes, yes, here's his card. Mr. Bhagavad Gita, General Manager, Vimanas R Us.

I would say most Catholic liberal arts schools have a canon.
But most of them are trying to get rid of it as fast as they can.

"In addition, this decision will prevent further disruption to the day-to-day operations of Florida Atlantic University."
No, it won't -- the Christian Beast has been unleashed.
