More Mandatory Assignments For Brainwash U.
When Missouri State University Social Work Professor Frank G. Kauffman tried to force student Emily Brooker to write a letter to the state legislature urging homosexual adoption, she refused for religious reasons.
Unfortunately for Emily, she is a Christian, not a Muslim. She was subjected to a 2 1/2-hour formal disciplinary hearing before an "ethics" committee, at which she was provided no lawyer. There's no written record of what went on there, but Emily reports she was grilled with highly personal questions until they extracted a confession that she regards homosexual activity as sinful. For this she was verbally abused by a court of ivory tower Torquemadas.
This gave Mike Adams a few ideas for other mandatory assignments that might be inflicted on students, including these:
- Wealthy students will be asked to write the legislature to ask for expanded government welfare programs and higher taxes.
- Feminists will be asked to write the legislature to ask for more restrictions on abortion and for laws mandating the wearing of undergarments and the shaving of armpits.
- Divorced men will be asked to petition the legislature for increases in alimony payments.
- Jews will be asked to sign a petition asking Missouri to add a state holiday celebrating the birthday of Yasser Arafat.
- Democrats will be forced to vote for Republican candidates.
Too bad professors can't be assigned to leave their thuggish moonbattery outside the classroom and let students reach their own political conclusions.

I heard about this a few days ago, maybe last week.
Also, the lawsuit has been settled. Score one for the good guys.

Have encountered more than my share of moonbat professors and duked it out with a few, but this young woman's tribulation beats anything I've ever read. Requiring that students demand of government something that goes against their own moral beliefs for the sake of a grade is bribery, pure and simple. And then to grill this woman and basically attempt to break her in the hopes that she would forfeit her faith or at the very least to make her look stupid is too reminiscent of a despotic regime to imagine it could happen HERE. Yet this is our future.
I'd say the "professor" got off easy despite the several steps the university has taken to demote and reprimand him. Am grateful it turned out for her...she got a first-hand lesson in persecution ... and passed with flying colors.

Considering how many universities would have proudly defended such policies, I'd say that Missouri State did pretty well in settling and disciplining the professor. I do think firing him would have been more appropriate, though.
Muslim students are sometimes targets of such treatment, too.
