Dino and Jack Chick Join Forces

In his "Lies in the Textbooks" series, Dino said that he had a chance to help re-write one of Jack Chick's little tracts.

Here it is:

Yep, Big Daddy's a classic. There's a pretty amusing parody of it floating around the web called Who's Your Daddy?.

Chick has accomplished his purpose, he has given me an overwhelming urge to punch someone in the face. And kick small puppies.

But really Chick Tracks just exist to reaffirm the beliefs people already hold and, by repetition, strengthen to the point of close-mindedness their opinions and beliefs. He is a sorry example to Christianity.

Kent Hovind and Jack Chick join forces? Sounds like a comic book plot gone horribly wrong...

Actually there's a few things wrong with that tract.

1) In most schools or colleges the teacher and students would have attacked the poor guy until he would have left the class.
2) Most teachers today would have sent him to the deans office for pushing religious beliefs.
3) The teacher would not have given up so easy.
4) The students would have mocked him relentlessly.
5) He may have been suspended or expelled(which has already happened in some schools).
6) The teacher would have made sure to fail the student regardless of how good his work was.
7) etc...

This tract is not a real world tract is the main problem in my opinion.

And of course you can back up these baseless comments with actual 'real world' examples, right?

Please give a single documented example of a student being suspended or expelled for discussing their religious beliefs in a class.
