Rollins College suspends student for defending gays

quote:Always the bullshite line. Always.
Here's a bizarre story: Administrators at Rollins College in Florida suspended a conservative Christian student and banished him from campus after one of his professors—Areeje Zufari—reported that he was making her feel unsafe.

But according to the student, Marshall Polston, he was actually punished for disagreeing with the professor, and for voicing concerns about deeply offensive statements made by a classmate. This classmate, an unnamed male Muslim student, reportedly said that under shariah law, beheading was the appropriate punishment for gays and adulterers.
"It took a few seconds for me to realize that he actually said that, especially after what this community has faced with the tragic loss of life at Pulse," Polston told The Central Florida Post.
This student's comments understandably unnerved several members of Zufari's Middle Eastern Humanities class. Someone even notified the FBI.
Polston took his concerns to Zufari, who seemed unfazed by the comments.
Afterward, Polston was called to the dean of safety's office and informed of his suspension.

Blurry details given by a blog.
Why would you even post this, other than because you are eager believe that this is true?

For added context, Rollins College is in greater Orlando

He lives in a city where a Muslim male just slaughtered 49 gays, heaven forbid he's touchy on the subject

Maybe he should have signed up for a different course if he didn't want to learn facts about the middle east.

Well, what did you expect, kid?

Why? What are they going to do? Put him on a watch list for saying something that is a foundation of Islam?

Maybe the Muslim student should move to a society that isn't rightfully appalled at beheading individuals

The various minorities that the left cherishes are slowly encroaching on each other. Soon they'll be in an all out war

These stories always seem to have two sides and apparently these two have a past history so I'd like to get some additional info. However, this is fricked up...

He has already been accused of violating its terms. According to a campus safety report obtained by The College Fix:
"Student ______ stated to me that she looked out the back glass door of the classroom and saw Mr. Polston staring into the room. He briefly stopped then proceeded on his way. Campus safety was immediately notified and responded at 19:36 hours. A search was conducted but Mr. Polston was not found. Ms. Zufari's students were upset and did not feel comfortable being in the class. Ms. Zufari dismissed her class early at 20:07 hours." Polston, however, was able to supply video evidence that he was at a restaurant 30 minutes away at the time.

Maybe they shouldn't teach the course at all. Maybe we should keep our children insulated from the realities of planet earth. You sound like a beautiful little snowflake, Joshua.

I think we're just starting to see the signs of it. It's still a few years away, but it's coming. The good part about it is that it's going to kick some of these fringe folks in the arse and show them just how big of a bully they are when their tactics get turned on them.

Is that incorrect? Was the student endorsing shariah at the same time? If so why not include that in the post?

Yes, I'm a snowflake because I oppose the murder of gays.
