I suggested to my son that when he's taking the easy A, elective type courses to just go with the flow no matter how nutty or unhinged the professor appears and to focus on the important courses, e.g. math, science, business, etc.

He's told us a few entertaining SJW stories.
A good approach, and what I plan on suggesting to my own children in those circumstances. These folks are looking for compliance, not a challenge.

On this particular Sunday, I happened to drive past a non-denominational church in the small college town where I live. It rents space on the main street, in an old movie theater. On this day, a group of enthusiastic church goers gathered on the sidewalk, advertising the service about to begin with handmade posters. They appeared to be mostly young, and I imagined they were probably students at the university where I teach. I glanced their way, wondering if I would recognize a student from one of my classes.
]A young man I did not recognize leaned toward the curb as I passed, aiming his poster at me. It read, “SMILE! It’s Sunday!”
I felt slapped in the face, stunned, and then . . . enraged.
Though I drove on in steely silence, I wanted to slam on the brakes, storm into that cluster of shiny happy young people and throw down a Molotov cocktail of sudden death, mental illness, tragedy, and suffering of all kinds into their church street party: “NO! I will NOT smile because it’s Sunday. And who are you to tell me I should? Who are you to imply that if I do not smile, I somehow don’t measure up to your understanding of what faith or salvation is?”
]Rage boiled within me for miles and miles, churning over the shame these young people tossed around in an insular, and therefore, arrogant obliviousness.
That being said, I think it is disgusting that any teacher or professor would kick a student out of school for something he or she said that did not encourage violence and/or was not actually hate speech.
None of us were there.
Professor claims the student :
Disrespectful in his objection, and
Refused to stop talking out of turn, and
Angry outbursts
Sounds like it may be more about the how than the what.
In contrast, the student is off on a free speech kick.

Not sure why you would check to see if it was a secular private school. If it were the student wouldn't have been ejected because that is in line with what they teach. Only in the public schools will you find ideology over ideas and forcing belief alignment by teachers and profs.

Closed minded fools who parrot how "accepting an diverse" they are, patting themselves on the back constantly for it. Nothing but hypocrites who couldn't care less how transparently oblivious they are to their own idiocy.
I'm doubting the professor was vey respectful of the student's position on those issues. The very fact that she would use a Christianity class as a vessel for promoting these issues in the first place makes me question her interpretation of events. Considering how leftist extremists define words like hate and racism, I have no doubt her definition of disruptive and whatever else she accused him of is highly subjective as well. I've seen plenty of examples of leftists who consider any voicing of an opposing viewpoint to be an expression of hatred and oppression.
And I brought up her "simple solution" in a previous post in this thread, which I will not rewrite word for word here. In short, she demanded a groveling and a point by point acquiescence to her views and gave no assurances of "forgiveness" in exchange for the groveling.
He learned a lesson that he needed to learn about dealing with leftists in authority, and part of that lesson is to never trust their twisted interpretation of events, especially when it involves their ideology.
This is hilarious. A crying snowflake not feeling protected in his safe space college class, but shocker, the thread is about a conservative.
The teacher doesn't need to be respectful of the student's uninformed views. The student needs to follow the teachers rules, and he didn't and was removed.
The teacher did a good thing by exposing these kids to something that they might not have expected, but an issue that they will have to deal with in real life, that is directly related to religious belief. The student obviously couldn't handle it, lost his composure and became a distraction to the class.
Probably turns out well for the kid. Conservatives don't need no facist liberal circle jerk universities teaching them the ways of the devil.
Did you read the report behind the picture? Refusal to stop talking out of turn? Angry outbursts? Accusing the professor of grading him low in the future bc they disagreed on this idea?
Don't interrupt a conservative snowflake meltdown with actual facts.
The student acted like a jerk and was asked to apologize, he refused so he was kicked out of the class.
Way too many conservatives get worked up on Fox News/hate radio and think it is their mission to go out into the world and share their political opinions, they are always shocked when the reaction to their "truths" range from meh to get the flock out of my face.
We all know how this went down, a college student egged on by Fox News and the right wing media machine didn't like the reaction that he received when the professor and other students refused to accept as "fact" his opinion regarding gender. Conservatives seem to think that merely not accepting what they present as "truth", "fact", "common sense" is an aggressive act, you see it on these forums all the time.
speaking the truth is hate speech? Words only hurt snowflakes with no spine.. go back to your safe space.
I could be wrong, but I don't believe MPowering1 was serious, but was instead being sarcastic.
