Powerful Facebook Note by Erika Pichette

Erika Morgan Pichette,
an 18 year-old American woman, recently published a Note on her Facebook discussing events that have happend in a class at a state college. In it, she confirms how so many of our college students are raised with a knowledge far from truth. Not only is she persecuted for her Conservative Christian beliefs, she is surrounded by classmates and instructors that are dumbasses.

Her note is titled,
"College-What is it teaching us? Redefining education...try Reinvinting Truth..."

Here is a part of her Facebook Note:
The other day I was in one of my classes. It is called “Life-Long Learning” but unfortunately it is a class that has done just about everything except encourage me to learn. Instead, it is a class that has tried to redefine all the things that I believe: [one liberal idea after another pushed at me.] It is the kind of class that college students say is a waste of time because they don’t actually learn anything, and yet, ironically enough it is still called “Life-Long Learning.”

Since I attend a state college, I have officially become a minority because of my faith and I have begun to realize just how much our society and its ideals have degenerated.

The other day in class we were asked to discuss ten controversial points based on ethics. The topics included euthanasia, healthcare and socialized medicine, the death penalty, the drinking age, etc.

First off, this was a joke considering most of the students don’t really have or know what their own code of ethics is, and if they do have one, it is usually based completely on whim and is not consistent with many of their other views as I have discovered through numerous debates that I have had at school now.

On my first day in class we had an assignment where we stood up in front of the class and introduced ourselves and gave a little “this is who I am” speech. I made no secret of the fact that I was a Christian who wanted to stand up for my faith—in fact, this made up most of my speech’s content. Therefore, most of my class has made a point of taking a stance opposite of mine simply because I am the “crazy conservative Christian.” This made our discussion on ethics all the more frustrating and depressing, since they automatically argued against everything I [said] no matter how logical or reliable my arguments were.

It was me against the class, and because there were 35 or so people against me, I had no hope of winning any of my arguments—no matter how logical they were.

She continues to go indepth with her note, discussing the rediculous views her classmates have on the topic of Legalizing Marijuana. Obviously, how can we as Americans dismiss so quickly that an American, like Erika, is being mocked and degraded simply because she states that she is a Christian?

Why do we find it so taboo to say, "I am a Christian; Yes, I love Jesus!"

What is happening to Erika is just more fuel to my old fire that I've always kept burning, which states, modern day college education is a total joke. It is a joke because of the majority of braindead knuckle heads that fill the seats of the classrooms and stand infront of the chalk board. Sure there are a few good college seeds like Erika Pichette, but look at the environment she has to put up with! LOOK AT IT!

It gets better. Erika Pichette also discusses in her note a conversation she has with another classmate regarding the Palestinian/Israel conflict. Read how not only is the broad that Erika talks with is a genuine idiot, but the shallow close minded class room joins the band wagon of disregarding Erika's truth. Erika writes:
This discussion frustrated me more than any other. A girl in my class decided that she would stand up and make a claim that was completely unsupported by any evidence, and because I did not agree with her, the entire class sided with her as a result. She claimed that our media was slanting everything that was being reported on the issue and that they were making Israel look like the victim and Palestine look like a bunch of terrorists. She claimed that it was actually Israel who was terrorizing Palestine, and that if America were to stop supporting Israel and withdraw our support from them as an ally, they would not have the ability to continue attacking Palestine and the conflict would be over because Palestine would no longer have to defend itself against Israel and would be happy to have peace.

WHAT????? I was so flabbergasted by this claim that had absolutely no support that I didn’t even know what to say. This is what is coming out of our colleges today…wow! This girl must be so enlightened! The solution to a conflict that has been going on for thousands of years—since Biblical times—is to simply to stop support and both groups will forgive and forget…Does anyone in this class have a brain???!!! There will never be a solution to this conflict. It is not just a territorial issue, it is a religious battle between 2 religious groups who take their religion very seriously and integrate it into every part of their day. Neither side will ever give in. The second that Israel stops retaliating and defending itself, Palestine will blow them off the face of the earth. Don’t think that they would hesitate a second to annihilate the Jews and take back the land which they feel is rightfully theirs. Don’t believe me? Here is a quote from the Iranian President, “Our belief and creed remain that Israel is an illegal entity, a cancerous tumor, that must cease to exist." he was speaking in a televised address to all Middle Easterners. You really think that they will leave Israel alone? If you do, you’re an idiot. You may think I am rude and wrong in saying this, but I’m just calling it as it is…

Unbelievable! Holy God Almighty. I am stunned. Praise God that atleast you, Erika, are not braindead. I can only pray that these lost classmates of yours will not rub off their evil/ignorant ways on your iron-strong beliefs.

We need more youth in this nation that have the heart and mind like that of Erika's. There needs to be some kind of redirection, a repent on the college masses, to turn from liberal mindsets and foolish ethics towards righteous doctrine. Erika Pichette closes her Note with this remarkable statement:
Please, use your head to make educated claims that have hard evidence and logic behind them. College has taught me that the world thinks it is now acceptable to make claims simply because it is what you believe, and they do not need to have any hard evidence behind them. Are you proud that our colleges are teaching this? It is the most valuable lesson I have learned and I now know the importance of thinking for ones’ self rather than simply accepting what is being told to you…everyone has a bias and an agenda…know who you can trust, or your mind will become polluted and you will become lost in the relative, liberal, and inconsistent ideologies which saturate and invade every facet of society today.

Erika Morgan Pichette, God bless you and thank you for standing up for what is right.
