you must read or watch the whole video for the whole story to decide...it's crazy he's fired for this yet, many professors who promote violence and other off the wall things are still gainfully employed.

Freedom of speech and religion do not exist within liberal institutions when the subject matter or opinion is opposite of theirs.

It is due to the ideology of the left; religion is a sin but having urban terrorists like Bill Ayers and Angela Davis teaching our students is O.K. The problem comes in when anyone dares challenge the ideology of the left.

As soon as I saw Fox News I had to stop. It reminds me of that female Marine that got UCMJ for a scripture when really it was about something else. How about he does his job and leave his faith system outside of his teaching capacity.

So what about when he handed out a Christian Book to his students at school. It was not sanctioned by the school and he just did it on his own? Now if another teacher was using school to hand out Qurans would that be ok or would some parents be upset?

An unnamed female student, whom Anderson described as “obstreperous” and disengaged with the course from the start, became so incensed that she contacted the dean, calling Anderson’s comments “sad” and “disturbing,” and asking BCCC to review the farewell letter.

His isn't his first time. He should have known. I don't want a public school teaching my child about their faith when they are there to learn about stars. That is not their job. I think Thomas Jefferson said it best when the stated that the "Believing with you that religion is a matter which lies solely between man and his God."

No, he shouldn't have bc there is a God to everybody. He doesn't reference a particular God. Whether a person, spiritual being, money, etc. Everyone has someone or something that rules their life. Using the term God is kind of generic. Unless he mentions, Jesus, Allah, or any other particular God, he should've been able to mention God.

All I can say is, let's learn from others. But in this case I will never deny my faith in GOD, therfore; I stand by him.
It's very sad but no one saw it coming from these administration in the house. He shall seek an Attorney and file a lawsuit.
Sorry but this is what our country has come down, nothing but easy money.

I believe in GOD and respect everyone's believe as long as they don't try to come and try to change my faith.

God bless yall, comrades..

Has anyone thought to look at the school's by-laws and behavioral guidelines for teachers before going off on what they think is the right answer?

I didn't read the article. I do find it interesting that this is a reason to fire a professor but calling people who exercised their right to vote were called terrorists because the professor disagreed with them and he/she is not fired.
