Art Student Expelled For Coming Out Of The Closet With His Leprechaun Atheism
On Monday morning, November 20, Averill met with the school's president, Dr. Steven Goldman, to appeal his dismissal. "He upheld the dean's decision to throw me out," Averill says. "He offered to re-admit me if I underwent-get this-psychiatric evaluation."
(Hey, doc, you got anything that causes epilepsy? This guy's FUCKIN' CRAZY.)
"I can say that we have never suspended or terminated or disciplined or otherwise troubled any student at any time about religious issues. It's never even come up as an issue," says Goldman, who also teaches a comparative religion class at the school. Given the Art Institute's liberal arts curriculum, there is no policy against discussing religion or philosophy, "or any other subject as far as I know. We have an academic community in which people are free to explore ideas."
(And leprechaun atheism is a NON-IDEA, which we are free to NOT EXPLORE. This is an IRRELIGIOUS NON-ISSUE, thank you very much. So it's a NOT CONTRADICTION.)
