Sometimes You've Just Got to Stand Up
One of my school colleagues has been spreading lies about Obama. Telling people Obama is Muslim, that he swore in on the Koran.
I'm sorry but that is just unacceptable to me. I told him when he came into class today " Barack Obama is NOT a Muslim. Please stop misinforming people." Of course, he then claimed that was "what he heard" and " many people beleive it's true."
Uggghhhh. These are the moments when going to an evangelical Christain university bother me, but I had hoped for better from a graduate student. It would take very little research to discover the fallacy of those claims, yet some people are like sheep and will passively accept whatever is told to them.
I may have been too confrontational in my approach, but I would hope if someone were spreading lies about me someone would stand up and say something.
Today, I took one for team Barack. Hope he appreciates it.
