EAST LANSING -- Sophomore Caroline Freeman was in disbelief as she sat in the front row of MSU professor William Penn's lecture last Thursday.
The 19-year-old kinesiology major from Macomb County was somewhat incredulous at her Michigan State University prof's disparaging remarks about Republicans. But she grew upset when his commentary veered onto other topics she's passionate about.
"He was talking about how Christians are dumb and don't know what what they're talking about and that they're all blind followers," said Freeman, a Christian high school graduate who was raised Lutheran. "He was just tearing down a whole institution of belief, and it had nothing to do with class."
Penn next took on athletes, Freeman said, which also offended her.
"He said athletes were wasting their time trying to throw a ball in a hoop and how we glorify them for no reason," said Freeman, herself a four-sport athlete in high school and a student liaison to MSU's women's basketball team. "He was calling people bad for playing football."
