UPDATE: TEACHER A DEMOCRAT OFFICIAL – College student suspended from class for refusing to stomp on ‘Jesus’

A Florida Atlantic University teacher instructed their Intercultural Communications class to write Jesus name on a piece of paper, put it on the floor and then stomp on it. But one student felt this was very inappropriate, complained to the teacher’s supervisor and was told to not return to the class.

So now he feels he’s the one being punished for something that was completely inappropriate in the first place.
