Do no question your indoctrination...

FAU Student gets the iron curtain. Don't oppose your indoctrination center, you can catch big flak for it.

Another fun nugget for those who actually like getting involved-

Write or call, demanding action against the student be dropped. This kind of public madness has got to stop.

Just imagine the uproar that would be caused if this were a Star of David, or Mohammad’s name on there. Stomping on a religious figure shouldn't be part of a curriculum. Stomping on Jesus although written on paper is a fairly clear message to Christianity from the university - We don't give a damn about your feelings.

 

The fascist college dropped the matter.

 

I do hope that the student sues them into oblivion though.

 

How great would it have been if when told to step on it, he picked up the paper, turned it over, wrote Obama and then stepped on it

 

This bit of total ignorance shows everyone just how sick liberal extremist really are!!!! Some one need to throw that professor on the floor and stomp on him!!!!!

 

While that would be a solution to the problem, it would likely cause another one.

 

What class was this? Stupid assignment in any case, there are other ways to spark a persons convictions without such theatrics.

The students didn't have to participate but were asked to explain why they hold such convictions, still doesn't make it right. What the hell are they trying to teach them anyway?

 

Stupidity begot more stupidity. ITWJWD?

 

That would have been great, because that would have meant the student actually understood the lesson and they could have opened up a great discussion about culture.

But instead, he decided to just be a reactionary and Fox News and the college is evil liberalism' crowd has decided to just be reactionaries instead of critical thinkers.

 

This might surprise you - I'm not Jesus.

Did I not say that this course of action would only cause one more problem? That being said, the instructor should be fired.

 

This would have been a complete and utter (*)(*)(*)(*)storm in the media if it were "gay rights" or something else equally divisive written on that sheet of paper. The Corp responds indifferently to some, while coddling others.

 

“Have the students write the name JESUS in big letters on a piece of paper,” the lesson reads. “Ask the students to stand up and put the paper on the floor in front of them with the name facing up. Ask the students to think about it for a moment. 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.”

Nobody was instructed to "stomp on Jesus". The exercise was designed to show that certain cultural admonitions are ingrained. His hesitance to step on it was the whole point of the exercise, and would have been the beginning of a great discussion.
Instead, the kid completely missed the point and overreacted to the exercise.

It is kind of funny, but the kid's reaction and Fox's and the Fox following crowd that have posted here have done a spectacular job of proving exactly what the textbook exercise was trying to show. Inadvertently, you have all become the mice in the experiment.

 

Utter rubbish. Had the experiment used gay rights on the paper, instead of the nearly deafening silence of noone stepping on the paper, you would have heard the tumult of foot stomping from all the loving Fox viewers trying to drive the paper through the floor.

 

Right...

Although I wouldn't personally care, I am sure the resident homosexual would care, and wouldn't have any scruples about drumming up support to call for the blood of the professor.

Just like I am sure one of the resident blacks wouldn't mind doing the same if it was a picture of the false messiah that is our worthless president.

 

So if somebody was to slap you in the face, you would sit down and discuss the matter? It was purposely contrived to get a reactionary response. It appears to have worked, and now they have stopped it. Too late but stopped it they have.

 

Wasn't talking to you the person who wanted the instructor stomped on. The point was/is that all good Christians strive to be more like Jesus, and attacking an idiot for being an idiot accomplishes nothing. Might make you feel better at the moment but solves nothing.

 

People not smart enough to get the point will just assume the point was to destroy christianity.

 

There was no point except to identify the people it agitated so they could look down upon them for getting bent out of shape.

 

The point was to demonstrate how much power symbolism has over people. A piece of paper that has just been a blank piece of paper suddenly becomes too sacred to step on because some letters were written on it.

 

You are attempting to equate physical violence to symbolic representation. However, if one had never been slapped in the face before and had no concept of physical pain, they themselves would have great difficulty in understanding why someone else would be reluctant to be slapped in the face.

Understanding our own culture is a paramount prerequisite for being able to understand others. We must understand why we would be reluctant to stomp on something as simple as a name on a piece of paper before we can ever hope to understand why another culture would be reluctant to do or offended from something similar.

 

Was it now? It couldn't have been done any other way than to invoke religion or politics? Maybe they could have asked each student to bring in a picture of their mother to stomp on? Now that would be an interesting discussion. When that part of the study was complete they could pas the picture to the right and ask that student to stomp on their class mates mother. Now both of those examples would have sparked a power of symbolic gestures as well, don't you think?

Perhaps the theatrics was as important as it seemed to be at the time.

 

No, not even close

 

he says, she says. one side is lying. you've chosen one

 

Fighting words or in this case gestures, are actions that at times cause a violent reaction. Somebody mentioned Mohamed, perhaps there is a reason why that name wasn't part of the exercise, since it would have, most likely resulted in a violent reaction. In any case, the theatrics was intended to invoke an emotional reaction. Violence and anger are both driven by emotion, and discrimination are they not?

 

Indoctrination is now defined as "critical thinking".

No sorry, that isn't going to fly.

Indoctrination is contrary to the concept of critical thinking, and through repetitive exercises backed by an agenda, especially on impressionable students, the process yields the desired results. Any critical thinking invoked by this lesson is far out shadowed by the indoctrination.

If they wrote "Muhammad" on the paper, the left would through a (*)(*)(*)(*)ing fit.
