re: Rollins College suspends student for defending gays

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.
