Lovely. Back in my day, college students also like to express themselves politically. We opposed bad leadership, unjust domestic policies and immoral wars by speaking out strongly and staging peaceful demonstrations. Now, I guess all it takes is a mannequin, a few feet of rope and a whole lot of ignorance and hatred. Glad to know our universities are still bastions of intelligent thought and discourse.
I think it is useful to point out that George Fox University (any relation to the TV news channel?) is a "Christian" institution. Yes, score another one for the wingnuts who insist on denigrating an entire religion with their decidedly unChristian behavior. As for the guy in Hollywood, he is just a garden variety idiot.
yes these actions are disappointing and disturbing no matter who they come from, but i am especially bothered that people who tout their christianity would stoop to this sort of behavior. What would Jesus do?
