MLD Woody Posted January 22, 2014 Report Share Posted January 22, 2014 http://toprightnews.com/?p=821 Another gem from Top Right News. I assume this is going to be a comedy. Or maybe, it is the next evolution of political philosophy based entertainment (news, websites, TV now movies) In the movie, college freshman and devout Christian Josh Wheaton (Harper) finds his faith challenged by his dogmatic philosophy professor (Sorbo), who requires his students to disavow the existence of God on the first day of class, signing a declaration that says God is dead. If they refuse, they automatically fail. I mean with a plot like that, it has to be great. That kind of damned thing happens all the time at those fancy elitist liberal colleges. .... I'm guessing their debate will be completely legitimate. Only facts presented. No logical fallacies. No emotion Nvm So... conclusion is the professor finds god. Who agrees?

gftChris Posted January 22, 2014 Report Share Posted January 22, 2014 It actually sounds like it could be interesting, potentially, along the lines of the dead poet's society. It probably won't be good, but it could be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LogicIsForSquares Posted January 22, 2014 Report Share Posted January 22, 2014 Sounds riveting. Evil professor oppresses Christian student. It can never be a rational story haha. Reminds me of the movies where a cartoonishly absurd racist oppresses an all black (insert sport) team. They are never just "meh I just would prefer having us play our sports separately". They end up being the ghost of George Wallace mixed with Nathan Bedford Forrest. It just comes off as comically over the top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LogicIsForSquares Posted January 22, 2014 Report Share Posted January 22, 2014 One professor does not every professor make. One idiot is an anomaly. In my previous post, I talked about cartoony racism in movies. I am sure someone could find a case where some overtly racist moron made the news.

MLD Woody Posted January 22, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2014 From your first link Florida Atlantic University professor Deandre Poole, the instructor at the center of a "stomp on Jesus" controversy, has been placed on administrative leave to protect his own safety, according to the Boca Raton-based university. "As a result of the reaction to a recent exercise in Dr. Poole's intercultural communications class, the instructor's personal safety has been compromised," anFAU statement reads. FAU junior Ryan Rotela said that in early March he refused to participate in an exercise in which students were asked to write "Jesus" on a piece of paper and then step on it. Rotela told multiple media outlets he was later suspended for refusing. But Poole told the students that none of them had to participate, according to the university. Fox News provided a "synopsis" of the lesson plan, which was based on a textbook exercise guide and ended: "After a brief period of silence instruct them to step on the paper. Most will hesitate. Ask why they can't step on the paper. Discuss the importance of symbols in culture." FAU faculty union president Chris Robé said Rotela's punishment was actually based on a verbal threat made against Poole. And in a statement, FAU said that no one was suspended in relation to the exercise, but added that federal privacy laws prevented it from explaining in detail. Amid the confusion, Robé told South Florida's Sun Sentinel that Poole has received death threats and racially charged voicemails. "I've never seen anything like it on campus, the vitriol that has been released on this guy," Robé said. One of the messages said the instructor would find himself hanging from a tree, Poole told Inside Higher Ed. "There are churches that want to march against me," Poole said. "There are people calling on the university to fire me. And it's all for doing my job. I was doing my job." Florida Gov. Rick Scott ® labeled the exercise as intolerant against Christianity, and some conservatives have pointed to Poole's affiliation with the local Democratic Party as proof of liberal bias in the classroom. The man who came up with the controversial exercise, St. Norbert College professor Jim Neuliep, told Inside Higher Ed that this is the first complaint he's heard in 30 years. The exercise is meant to open up a discussion about religious symbols. Neuliep said there's a simple reason why it uses "Jesus" and not "Mohammad": Far more students in the U.S. practice Christianity than Islam. Poole, who considers himself "very religious," said most students actually chose not to step on "Jesus" and that no one was punished for it. So your link isn't even an example of what you want it to be. I am sure on Breitbart or The Blaze or Top Right News it sounded really bad. The headline something extreme about students stomping on Jesus, being forced to by an evil, black, liberal professor. It is a shame though that the truth is much less damning, huh? I even bolded some important parts for you. I know the sites you read like to do that too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MLD Woody Posted January 22, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2014 I spent some time looking at the articles on that Top Right News site. I swear to god, half of them have something to do about Duck Dynasty. It is really becoming more and more apparent why that show is so popular. Really a brilliant marketing scheme and a great job by the production company. Courses in TV, Media, and marketing should study this show and everything around it.

LogicIsForSquares Posted January 22, 2014 Report Share Posted January 22, 2014 It is all marketing. If one of the Honey Boo Boo parents came out and said something controversial about gays, the producers would be swimming in all of that right wing, Christian money. I would actually tell the cast to go that route. Dummies would be emptying their wallets to show support. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
