Christopher Peterman, a senior at Bob Jones University, started a Facebook page called Do Right BJU whose mission statement is "an abuse awareness and support group at Bob Jones University." Peterson's Facebook page showed the links the Christian university had with a child rape cover-up. Peterson began petitioning to ask Bob Jones University to remove Chuck Phelps from the board of trustees.
According to ABCNews.com, Chuck Phelps, a pastor of an Independent Fundamentalist Baptist church, allegedly covered up Tina Anderson's rape by sending her thousands of miles away:
Willis' case drew national headlines because his victim, Tina Anderson, who gave an exclusive interview to "20/20" last month, said she was forced to confess her "sin" -- the pregnancy -- in front of their congregation at Trinity Baptist Church, an Independent Fundamental Baptist Church (IFB) in Concord, N.H. The church's then-pastor, Chuck Phelps, helped arrange for Anderson to move thousands of miles away from home to live with an IFB family and give her child up for adoption.
This Tuesday, Christopher Peterman was expelled from Bob Jones University for watching Glee, after a series of meetings with the schools officials and threats to kick him out of the university for his activity on his Facebook page.

And don't get me started about The Big Bang Theory.

(26,355 posts)Expulsion from this bible-thumping fundamentalist "university" should be seen as a badge of honor! Especially since he spoke out against BJU's coverup of child molestation.

(9,983 posts)A good guy, sane and reasonable, especially considering...... But he'd seen a good deal more of the world than most in his shoes.
"If I never see another sleazy loser in a viniyl "leather" jacket, driving a "pay-by-the-week" Cadillac and answering to Reverend or Pastor, it'll be too soon!"
But - little things he'd drop in casual conversation told me a lot about the amount of brainwashing he was subject to, and the degree of seperation from reality that some of his fellow parishoners sought.
