I saw a picture of him, he was black, however he was just following a pre-canned lesson plan so he didn't come up with it himself. It didn't say whether he was Muslim.
If I was a parent that had a student enrolled in this school I would have pulled them out by now.
Orthodoxy SUCKS.

It's college, that would be a very expensive protest.
Yes. It would be expensive.

I posed this to my daughter, a jr in college. She wouldn't have stomped on it either and I believe her, but those kids who did have a spiritual gap or lack of ability to question authority that the parents have to share responsibility for.

My son wouldn't have stomped on it. But I know his heart. It would be broken. My move would be to protect him as his mother. He's only sixteen so, maybe I look at this differently.
