May 19, 2006 Oregon student newspaper runs pictures of Jesus as a homosexual. It is time to speak out!
Dear Carl, The Associated Students of the University of Oregon (ASUO) has refused to apologize for an obscene anti-Christian assault in the campus newspaper Insurgent.
The March edition of the Insurgent ran one of the strongest attacks on Christianity I have seen. The paper ran graphics depicting Jesus as a homosexual. One was a depiction of a naked Jesus on the cross with an erection; the other, titled Resurrection, showed a naked Jesus kissing another naked man, both sporting erections.
(To see the graphics, click here. We warn you that they are extremely offensive. We have pixilated out the private parts.)
When asked for an apology by Students of Faith, ASUO refused to give one saying that "there are no grounds for demanding an apology from Insurgent." The ASUO went on to defend the publication saying that the newspaper contributes "to the cultural and physical development of the university community."
The Insurgent would never show a naked graphic of the Rev. Martin Luther King kissing another man, both sporting erections. But offending Christians was of no concern to the Insurgent or to University President Dave Frohmayer.
The ASUO Women's Center tolerates no defamation against gays and lesbians. Three years ago, ASUO demanded that the university radio station, KUGN, drop Michael Savage (a conservative talk show host). The university promptly discontinued the program. But depicting Jesus as a homosexual is perfectly OK.
Here is what Insurgent Student Editor Jessica Brown had to say about the graphics. "I have to say it is really fun to offend people. It is fun to break the rules. If it pi--es people off"¦good that's the point!!! It has here in this office. So read, get pi--ed and talk about it."
Incidentally, the University forces all students, including Christians, to pay student dues of $191.00 per term, part of which goes to support the Insurgent.
Take Action
Send an email letter to the Governor, University President and other Oregon officials protesting this anti-Christian bigotry.
Very important! Please forward this to your friends and family. It is important for them to become aware of the growing anti-Christian bias in our country. It is time for Christians to speak out saying that bigotry against Christians"”or any faith"”is unacceptable.
Share this information with others in your church and Sunday school.

That is not the only pic they ran making fun of our savior, the worst thing is the director refuses to take any action, apparently they need a few tornadoes or earthquake around that school to shake them up.

I certainly wouldn't want to play golf with either of them. Especially on a cloudy day... (Ouch)
I did find out from my step dad that the President of the U of O has severly cut the papers funding due to "budget cuts"
But when you stop and think about it all there is not a whole heck of alot that can be done. The constituion is great 99.9% of the time but then you have some local smudge of society that makes that .1% a pain in the neck
