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.

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. |  | | | Thread Tools | | | | Display Modes | Linear Mode | | | |
