A student at NYU sparked controversy recently when she logged a complaint against a professor who constantly referred to the Bible as a “Book of Spells” or “The Original Harry Potter.”

Jennifer Kabbany of The College Fix reports:

The debate transpired in late December on New York University’s “Secrets” Facebook page, on which students can anonymously post comments on subjects that range from admitting to cheating on a final exam to watching a roommate have sex. Facebook users can then comment on the “secrets,” albeit using their profile and name.
A student secret posted on the site Dec. 21 was that their “ConWest teacher freshman year for ‘antiquity and the 19th century’ referred to the Bible as a ‘Book of Spells’ and ‘The Original Harry Potter’ regularly when he would use it as a piece of the lecture. I am not even that religious, but found it so disgusting and disrespectful that I had no choice but to file a complaint.

Atheist proselytizing is a favorite pastime among the smug academic secularists of our time, thanks to the likes of Dawkins and Hitchens, who made lots of money selling books that portray all non-atheists as idiots. Those authors never seemed to be aware of the presumption of universal knowledge it requires to go from agnosticism to atheism. Nevertheless, they inspired a generation of copycats who now populate our nation’s university lecture halls.

Anyway, you know it’s getting to be too much when “not even that religious” students are complaining about it.
