Gina is an excellent student. Her grade point average is a 3.9 out of a possible 4.0. She has good relationships with her professors at Suffolk County Community College (SCCC).
Introduction to Philosophy is a required class for all students at SCCC.
For the first several class assignments, Gina received perfect grades.
That all changed when God and religion became prominent topics of class discussion and her refusal to compromise her Christian faith became apparent.
Her professor, Philip P., has not only docked her grades ... he has repeatedly derided Gina for her faith in online class discussions, calling her ''close-minded,'' ''uncritical,'' ''hurtful,'' and ''blinded by belief'' simply because she will not adopt his way of thinking. He has also said that to engage in dialogue, you have to at least acknowledge the possibility that God does not exist.
Hmm...I'm pretty sure that if this professor was having this conversation with a Muslim student, telling them to acknowledge that "Allah does not exist", he'd be marked for death.
Anyway, if this sort of thing motivates you to take action, click here for more info.
