This morning as I was listening to Pandora radio an add was played for Speak Up University. I was curious to see what this was about so I went to the link www.facebook.com/speakupu and was fascinated by what I read and watched. This transfer student was attempting to start a pro life group on her campus and was facing major resistance by faculty! The way they were treating the situation was very much on the childish side of things. I checked out the site more and found that one of the students that had to pursue legal action against a professor because of his unethical assignment was at my own university in my very own degree of study! Thankfully the university made amends once the situation was brought to the attention of the president. However not all university's are doing this.
I often think about why it seems that everyone but Christians can speak out with no persecution and even have acceptance. But if a christian says anything then we are being "over religious" or "judgemental". How is it that a life style that promotes peace, acceptance, no judgment, love, strong well being, patience, and eternal glory could be labeled by such intense views of hate! Christianity is a "life style choice" just as all other things! We should have the same freedom of speech as anyone else and given the same opportunity to be heard! Why can others offend us, but we cannot offend? Why must we hide in the shadows and cower when no one else has too? America it's self was founded on Christianity why can't we speak up!?
