I work at C.S.U. in housing operations management (oh come on, you're a janitor, admit it). Today I was reprimanded because I gave several students little calendars that had my church and the address of my church on them. I was told by my supervisor that that was pushing my religion and it was illegal for me to do so. Well There was no pushing religion here it was only a simple calendar no doctrine was mentioned it is no different that a calendar from a bank or an insurance agent. It simple had my church’s name “Platteville Baptist Church” and the address on it at the very bottom it had in italics “For in him we live”. That is it, nothing more this calendars was a harmless gift. I would like to add that not a single student complained. In fact I had several students come up and thank me for the calendars. This is nothing more than the university expressing it’s haltered toward Christians. My supervisor was only acting on what she was taught. I do not blame her for this cowardly deed. I blame those over her and the instruction it’s self.

I was very much stressed over being publicly reprimanded in front of students like I was a piece of trash. I was so stressed my heart beat rose and my hand was shaking so I had to go home sick.

This is nothing new, a couple of years ago I had the bill of rights posted on my door. It was nothing more that the first ten bill of rights (we have 10 bills of rights?). I was reprimanded for that as well. I was told that the bill of rights might offend someone so they had to come down. I took it down and was giving a special meeting with a few of my superiorsyou had this meeting, for them? and told that I had no right to post such offensive material on my door. That it was okay to put stuff on my door, just not what they found to be offensive. I had a Culpepper American flag on there to and I had to take that down as well.

Funny thing is that ever day I see things that offend me, yet I say nothing because I believe in the first amendment. You can always see something pushing homosexuality on a daily bases. Homosexuals have freedoms to express what I find offensive. Muslim posters are in every hall and there are special bulletin boards were that put up information about the Islam. But they say it is against the law to mention Christianly. I need your help and prayer. I am being treated unfairly because I am out spoken about being a Christian. At Colorado State University it is ok to come out as a homosexual but if you are a Christian you are told to hide it and go into the closet. I will not be a closet Christian and neither should anyone.

The first Amendment says “Amendment 1, Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances”. Colorado State University had made a law that prohibited the free exercise of my religion, which is clear. My free speech has been abridged. No I do not push my politics on any one and I do not express my beliefs to those who do not what to hear it.

Funny thing is if you are a left winger that would not hesitate to let you express your self. I have seen it out side offices of certain people were there left wing anti-American propaganda is posted not in there offices but on the hall ways out side there offices and that is just fine with C.S.U..
