My reaction is not surprise, Lance. I consider their action to discpline Christine to be outrageous and illegal. You should feel the same way. It is a clear case of discrimination, and at the bottom of the letter is written, "an Equal Opportunity Institution." What hypocrisy!
You ought also consider Christine's young age. She does not expect this kind of hatred from people who claim that we should love and tolerate everybody. She does not expect the lies and falsehoods. So as a father, I also deal with her weeping and hurt over this. You respond with callousness and a completely inept ability to understand the issues involved. You also seem to believe the false reports and false characterizations. You often remind me of the hypocrite Christians who object to us. Just today, I was with Kevin Deegan in Tampa. About ten of us were standing on the sidewalk. We were waiting there to regroup with some others. A man came out from a house nearby and began to tell us that we were on private property and he wanted us to move on. He did not want to see the banners. At first I said that this was public property, not private, but we would be moving along very soon. Then I was prompted by the Spirit to deliver a message. I raised my hands, pointing toward heaven to Jesus, and I raised my voice in preaching style and said, "Sir, Jesus says that if you are ashamed of him, he will be ashamed of you on the day of judgment when you stand before him on that day." He ignored me at first, so I said it again. Then he looked at me directly, and so I said it a third time as I looked him directly in the eyes. Then he asked me why I was dressed up, telling me that I should look like him and have beads around my neck and a drink in my hand. I said, "there is nothing wrong with looking nice, is there?" He agreed that I looked nice, and I smiled and walked over and shook his hand. As I talked with him a little, he warmed up and I placed my hand on his shoulder in a loving way and asked him if I could pray with him. He said sure, but it was not necessary because he was fine. I said, "you are fine?" "Yes," he said, "I am a minister, a Presbyterian ordained minister of the gospel." Suddenly I knew why I was so motivated to tell him that Jesus would be ashamed of him if he was ashamed of us standing out in front of his house. What kind of Christianity is this? I know you hate my little anecdotes which you take to be so full of pride, but I just had to tell you this one because in many ways, this man makes me think of you.

DM's post seemed to indicate surprise over the school's response. Why? When one enters the 'fray' one ought to expect persons to contest her point of view. She is a woman and, peer to many who don't like what she is doing. ----- Original Message ----- From: Judy Taylor To: TruthTalk@mail.innglory.org Cc: TruthTalk@mail.innglory.org Sent: January 28, 2006 11:51 Subject: Re: [TruthTalk] Free Speech Are you intimating that Christine is "harmful" because she speaks the truth in a public setting Lance?

This would appear NOT to describe Christine. If she climbs in the ring then, she'd best be prepared for combat. From: Judy Taylor I, for one am apalled by the Reprimand sent to Christine Miller by the University of Florida - My how far we have fallen. Where is the freedom of speech we are promised and why is it OK to promote every perversion publicly on this Campus but God's Truth is ridiculed and maligned? I find it interesting that the ppl who came up to Christine in private to agree with her stand were too timid and fearful to support her publicly. This is truly ominous.... Christine is being persecuted for the sake of righteousness. It may be hard on the flesh but you should be rejoicing Christine that you are counted worthy to suffer for His Names sake...
