It would have to be really disruptive to warrant a suspension, such as being told numerous times and praying loudly.
Unfortunately, many community college part-time professors share offices as space is often limited. I agree with your post.
Well, we really don't know what category of "professor" this is, either. Sometimes anyone who teaches at a college is called a professor by lay people.
All I am saying is that the supreme court has repeatedly stated that you cannot stop someone from praying and I agree, even as an agnostic. Now if someone was being disruptive and using prayer as an excuse that is a totally different matter. you wouldn't want fifteen hundrend people to be able to drop and pray to Allah four times a day and stop school in the process now would you. The same goes for all religions. We just don't know enough from that article.
I'm sure the professor who was offended by the students prayer would have no problem with the scenario you describe. Neither would Obama, Pelosi or most liberals. They are all for freedom of religion, so long as it isn't Christianity or Judiasm being practiced.
The professor was willingly praying with them, in a private office that was shared by more than one professor. I saw no indication that the first professor died. Seems you need to re-read this article without presumptions.
Do we know that the ill professor was willingly praying with them? We don't have any statements from the ill professor one way or another. They don't say that the ill professor stood up to the second professor and defended the girls. That leaves me with questions.
