BREAKING NEWS: A student at a community college in California has made history by actually managing to get a failing grade, in spite of any damage it may have done to her self esteem, something today's "educators" deem more important than actual, erm, learning.
So how did young Bethany Hauf of Victor Valley Community College manage to pull off this astounding feat?
She mentioned the word "God" in a paper. Not once, but a horrifying, nerve-chilling, religion-establishing FORTY-ONE TIMES!.
Hundreds of ACLU counsellors are converging upon Victor Valley in a desperate attempt at containing this obvious violation of the mythical wall of separation between church and state. It may be too late, however, as ripples of spontaneous conversions to the hated faith of Christianity have been reported in the neighborhood.

VICTORVILLE — For using the "G" word 41 times in a term paper, Bethany Hauf was given an "F" by her Victor Valley Community College instructor.
Hauf's teacher approved her term paper topic — Religion and its Place within the Government — on one condition: Don't use the word God.
>>>
When in California, don't mention G-d.
When in Germany, don't mention the War.
When in the company of a liberal, don't mention any word with more than two syllables.
<<<
Instead of complying with VVCC adjunct instructor Michael Shefchik's condition Hauf wrote a 10-page report for her English 101 class entitled "In God We Trust."
>>>
LOOK! She disobeyed TEACHER! BURN HER!!!
<<<
"He said it would offend others in class," Hauf, a 34-year-old mother of four, said.
>>>
We weren't aware that grading of papers were a class project in the People's Idiotarian Republic of Kalifornia but, considering the quality of their teachers, it certainly does make sense to involve sentient beings in the process.
<<<
"I didn't realize God was taboo."
>>>
You obviously haven't been living in Kalifornicate for very long, Ma'am. It's just about the only thing that's taboo there.
<<<
Hauf has received legal assistance from the American Center for Law and Justice. The ACLJ is a conservative Christian legal foundation founded by Dr. M.G. "Pat" Robertson, who is also the founder, chairman and face of the Christian Broadcasting Network.
>>>
Good thing she didn't bother contacting the ACLU. Imperial Sources report that they're currently too busy prosecuting a school principal for checking off a questionnaire with a vertical and horizontal line as opposed to the ACLU-approved diagonal ones, thus clearly passing a law establishing a religion.
<<<
The college says the issue over Hauf's paper, written during the spring semester, has been satisfactorily resolved. "We settled this matter during the course of this class," said Judy Solis, chair of VVC's English department. "She was treated fairly and she knew what the options were."
>>>
And this is what "fair" is in the hive collective of Kalifornia:
<<<
Hauf took her concerns about not being able to use "God" in her report to her teacher, then to the department chair. During a joint meeting between all three the options were laid out: Hand in the report with the "G" word or revise, edit or re-write the paper, Solis said.
"She continued to write her paper," Solis said. "She knew what the consequences were."
>>>
Harsh, it may seem, but we're dealing with Stalinists here, so don't expect too much when it comes to academic freedom. Well, unless it's one of the tenured titweasels on the stand for calling office workers Nazis.
<<<
Hauf acknowledges she knew her teacher's condition for writing the paper, but argued it would be impossible to write about the affect of Christianity on the development of the United States without using the word God.
>>>
One might argue that the two concepts are tied together in a not insignificant way, yes, but then one wouldn't stand a chance of getting tenure with a Kalifornian institution of "learning".
And the teacher's learned reply?
<<<
"He told me you might as well write about the Easter Bunny," Hauf said.
>>>
We'd dearly love to hear People's Kommissar Shefchik's defense of the logical ties between Christianity as a factor in American Society and that of the the Easter Bunny, if for no other reason than simply to amuse ourselves watching a retard making an even bigger ass out of himself. But, on the other hand, we'd enjoy just kicking him in the nuts just as much.
Decisions, decisions.
