University backs professor for telling students to "stomp on Jesus"

If you were outraged at NBC showing Jesus as a murderous terrorist, this will also get your blood boiling.  According to Todd Starnes of Fox News, a Florida Atlantic University student was suspended from school for refusing a professor's order to stomp on the name Jesus.
If I didn't read this article I would not have believed it myself, but unfortunately this appears to be 100% true.  Ryan Rotela, the student who was suspended, says that he was asked in his Intercultural Communications class by Professor Deandre Poole to write the name Jesus on a piece of paper and then stomp on the name.
“I said to the professor, ‘With all due respect to your authority as a professor, I do not believe what you told us to do was appropriate,’” Rotela said. ‘I believe it was unprofessional and I was deeply offended by what you told me to do.'"
Believe it or not the story continues to spiral downward.  When the student expressed his concerns to the professor's supervisor he was the suspended from school.  You read that correctly, he was suspended from school for refusing to stomp on Jesus!
Now at this point you would think the school would relent and allow the student back in class, because this is a clear violation of the students Freedom of Religion, but you would be wrong.  Instead, according to Starnes, the school is defending the instructor's assignment.
“As with any academic lesson, the exercise was meant to encourage students to view issues from many perspectives, in direct relation with the course objectives,” said Noemi Marin, the university’s director of the school of communication and multimedia studies.
