Student says mention of prayer enrages professor
MICHIGAN - ”For Christ and Humanity”. That’s the motto of Olivet College in Michigan, where a Christian student says he was punished by one of his professors for making a reference to God in the classroom.

Olivet College freshman Jeremiah Bannister, an aspiring journalist, claims he was recently the target of anti-Christian bigotry and grade retaliation in his ”Writing and Rhetoric” class. Bannister says Professor Austin Jackson, a Sunni Muslim, took exception to an essay he and another student had written opposing affirmative action and slavery reparations.
The freshman shares that when he was asked by the professor to voice his personal opinion on what African-Americans can do to overcome historical prejudice, one of his suggestions was prayer - a response that upset the educator.
„He was very, very angry about it”, says Bannister, „and said that invoking God in class was unacceptable; that it was anti-intellectual, that it was belligerent, and that it was completely unacceptable in his classroom. And he actually docked us 10 points from our grade because I invoked God in my opinion of what could be done.” (AgapePress)
