I know. I told you that Crackergate was over. And I thought it was.
The University of Minnesota Morris supports Prof. Myers free speech.
But it turns out that the Catholic campus group has set its sights on Benjamin Collard. They have filed charges against him and caused a hold to be placed on his records - preventing him for signing up for classes. They are disrupting his education and he faces the possibility of being Expelled. Huh..."expelled"...where have I heard that word before?
So what is Ben's crime? I guess he "disrupted" the service by being in the presance of someone who didnt turn the body of Jesus into poop.
“I tried to look at my class schedule,” Collard said. “There was a hold placed on my account that I couldn’t sign up for classes. I went to the office of Student conduct to see what was going on and they told me Catholic Campus Ministries filed charges against me.”
Quote from the link above:
Collard learned that he has been charged with misconduct, disruptive conduct and giving false identification, the exact same charges as Webster.
Collard has been silent since the episode but when he learned of the charges, he decided he’d be silent no longer.
He said during the incident he sat silently while everything else around him was happening.
“I didn’t talk to anybody, didn’t say anything,” he said. “While the situation, disruption happened, I was sitting in my seat looking forward, I did nothing.”
“I never spoke to a university official, I never lied about who I was,” Collard added. “I never engaged in any disruptive conduct. I just think this is absolutely disgusting that they’re going after me.”
Sigh.
