Stomp on Jesus?

Stomp on Jesus - American Vision: "By now the story is well known: a Florida Atlantic University professor teaching an “Intercultural Communications” course assigned his students to desecrate the name of Jesus in the classroom. The assignment, straight from the textbook in use, was to write the name of Jesus on paper, then lay the paper on the floor. Then the professor gave the cue: “stomp on it.”

Ryan Rotela is one student who refused. He is a Mormon. Convicted and led by His beliefs, he refused to desecrate the name of Jesus. He set the paper back on his desk, later arguing, “I’m not going to be sitting in a class having my religious rights desecrated.”"

I was curious, however. Were there not others in the room who were offended? Are there not generally several Christians in the standard university classroom? If so, why did these not object?

I contacted Mr. Rotela and asked him about the other students. He wrote me back:

There were Christians in the classroom, and judging on the degree of noise coming from the feet there was a majority stomping on the paper.

My sad suspicion was confirmed. So the question arises: why would Christian students at the university level mindlessly obey their professor and stomp on the name of their Lord and God?
