Freedom of exercise people, freedom of exercise!
And in today's San Francisco Chronicle, yet another example of how people have gotten it completely wrong when it comes to religious expression. The college claims that faculty offices, lounges, etc. are places for teaching, learning, etc. and are not places for protests, demonstrations, prayer or other activities that would be disruptive. What? Okay, I get that the professor must have something against religion and even having a student pray with a teacher, but what are we doing. If I can't pray with anyone I wish, who is voluntarily praying with me, in any place I wish (there is a responsibility with every right, so of course I can't pray in the middle of class), then what good is free exercise? This case is a clear example of abuse of power and of violation of constitutional rights that I'm not really surprised that a judge said the students had a case. Of course they do!
