Student Suspended From Class When He Refuses To Step On Jesus

stomp on jesusThe latest White Tower Liberal to speak truth to power is Florida Atlantic University Professor Deandre Poole.  Professer Poole,

Currently serves as a precinct captain for Precinct 7021 in West Palm Beach, as a club officer for the Together We Stand Democratic Club, and a member of the West Palm Beach Democratic Club. (…)  In April 2011, Dr. Poole was appointed to the position of Recording Secretary for the Palm Beach County Democratic Executive Committee.

Executive Committee Democrat Dr. Denadre Poole’s claim to fame?  He asked his students to write the name ‘Jesus’ on a piece of paper, put it on the floor, think about it and then step on it.  The Stomp on Jesus lesson is making national news because, one student objected and was dismissed from the class.  He was not expelled from the University as some have reported but he was suspended from the class.  The University initially backed the professor but Stomp on Jesus U has since apologized. and claims that lesson will no longer be taught.

My question?  Poole’s bio shows him listed as a member of a local Christian church, but it also states that he wrote his Howard University Doctoral Thesis on Obama Media Mythology, and is writing a book titled:  Obamamania: The Rise of a Mythical Hero.

Why not ask people to stomp on “Obama?”

It could be something in the West Palm Beach Democrat party Headquarters water cooler or is that the local media water coolers?

Bizpac Review and Tom Tillson, were first out of the gate asking…why didn’t the initial media reports point out that Poole was also a prominent local Democrat?

While the incident (Regarding Professor Poole) has made the news, the media has failed to report a key component of Poole’s resume: He is vice-chairman of the Palm Beach County Democratic Party. His recent actions add fire to an already-disturbing pattern of hate coming out of the local party.

Mark Siegel, the former chairman of the county Democratic Party, was forced to resign in September under a barrage of criticism over an anti-Christian tirade at the Democratic National Convention in Charlotte, N.C.

Siegel, who is Jewish, told an interviewer at the convention that pro-Israel Christians want to see Jews “slaughtered.”

“Oh no, the Christians just want us to be there so we can all be slaughtered and converted and bring on the second coming of Jesus Christ,” he said at the time.

Just two months earlier, in a series of emails, Evelyn Garcia, a Democratic Executive Committee member from Palm Beach County and one of the local party’s Democratic National Committee representatives, accused Israel of “crimes against humanity” and running “mass concentration prison camps.”

Nice bunch.  They sound very tolerant.

I’m sure the entire Democrat party and local party leaders everywhere will rise up, speak out against this religious intolerance and bigotry, and demand that Poole be dismissed from his position in the party.

I was just kidding.  He’ll probably be making a fortune on the speaking circuit before the end of the year. But if he’d asked them to step on Obama, or Mohammed, or how about the name Harvey Milk or Hillary Clinton, (or even Jesus, if he was just registered to vote as a Republican), that would be in full rotation on CNN and MSNBC.  But a left-wing professor who is a Democrat party official recording Obama’s Hero Journey for all posterity…?  It’s a non-story.
