My Response to Reverend Dr. John Dorhauer's Attack
While I am not speaking for the board of New College of Florida as a whole, I would like to respond to Rev. Dr. John Dorhauer's comments during our Board meeting on February 28th. During that meeting, he said,
“…to express my moral outrage at what the seven of you appointed by the governor have set out to do here. When Martin Luther King said that the moral arc of the universe is long, but it bends towards justice, he did so to warn us of sycophants like you to inspire the kind of resistance that we see erupting on this campus right now and to remind those who have been victimized by your brutality that but it looks like you have an opportunity to wield your power for this day, the long arc of history will grind you into dust and they will win this battle and you will be remembered for the sycophants that you are. That's what history does.”
Here is my response:
Reverend Dr. Dorhauer, please ask yourself, “In my inordinate zeal to fight the oppressor, have I become a part of the oppressive regime?” “Are you and others preaching that racial consciousness is a source of revelation?” I would say, “Yes,” you are preaching for a racial consciousness. The Jesse Smollett and Bubba Wallace incident shows that this narrative of American racism is running low on current grievances. Consequently, this current regime must turn its attention to America's educational institutions to dehumanize students into a neo-Marxist us vs. them. And thus, indoctrinate students to view the world through the lens of race. This is what the Barmen Declaration of 1934 opposed.
Barmen Declaration and Explanation from United Church of Christ
Let's use a simple litmus test to see who is standing with Bonhoeffer and Lichtenberg and who is using the memory of these Saints as relics to gain spiritual authority, much like the churches in medieval Europe. In society today, which side of this discussion is the oppressor? Sports figures were coerced, cajoled, and pressured into kneeling with their teammates during the national anthem. Businesses have been threatened with boycotts in a shakedown for donations and statements of forced agreement that America is racist. Hiring for jobs and applications to schools are demanding capitulating statements on the issue of race. Students are afraid to express their opinion and reservations about Anti-American rhetoric for fear of being found out and losing out on college placements. Liberation theology supports forced pledges of fealty. This is all oppressive.
Liberation theology and its view of the proverbial black Jesus, whose sole mission is to fight against oppression, is a bastardization of Christianity to serve an oppressive state regime. First witnessed by many people when Barack Obama's reverend Jeremiah Wright said, “Not God Bless America, but God damn America.” We have already seen the first fruits of this oppressive regime's intent on building and supporting machinations of destruction. In 2020, it decided to relent from its medical tyranny of lockdowns to raise racial consciousness. In the vein of Chicago politics of never letting a crisis go to waste, this current regime capitalized on George Floyd’s death and launched state-sponsored destructive riots across America. And as if creating fear wasn't enough, they also gave birth to the lawless “defund the police movement.”
Biblical Examination of Liberation Theology
An Academic Explanation of Black Liberation Theology
The aforementioned Barmen Declaration is a chief confessional document of your church. It goes on to say, “We reject the false doctrine that the Church could have permission to hand over the form of its message and of its order to whatever it itself might wish or to the vicissitudes of the prevailing ideological and political convictions of the day.” Liberation Theology is handing over the form of its message, the gospel, to the vicissitudes and prevailing ideology of wokeism. Your church and other churches' embrace of this destructive heresy has created an unholy alliance of state power and religious belief systems. Few have had a chance to fight against this evil march. There has been a unique combination of events at New College of Florida that has opened up this rare opportunity. As a follower of Jesus Christ, I stand against this alliance, this domination, this new Reich, and this bastardization of Christianity known as Liberation Theology. I am honored to continue the defiant work Bonhoeffer and Lichtenberg started.

We see a complete dearth of appropriate leadership and behaviour in America's institutions these days. To find fault with the adults in charge at New College just because some students have formed a "Resistance" movement is indicative of the current tenor in education and apparently, some churches today.
There is very little wisdom at New College. Was there any guidance provided by an administrator or professor to the male student wearing a dress, black lipstick and no shoes who spoke rudely to the BOT at the last meeting and then later stood in front of them doing a strange wiggle dance for a full minute and a half? Was anyone asking this man about drug use at 1 PM on a Tuesday? Anyone suggesting he fully and reasonably assess the bind that New College was previously in and be grateful for the school being revived by new trustees and the state? The sense of entitlement among so many in the younger generations is alarming-- but we can't blame them solely because most parents and adults have abdicated their responsibility. Too many parents expect the schools to raise their kids, but with traditional models of discipline becoming out of fashion thanks to bizarre theories from Ed schools, we now have masses of poorly socialized and ill mannered young people who have never heard the word NO. Just looks at Stanford Law-- the school has become an national embarrassment-- a once respected institution now populated by students with the temperment of two year olds.
I hope that Dorhauer spoke to the students and parents who came off looking so poorly at the last BOT meeting and tried to guide them toward a more peaceful temperament. However, I seriously doubt he did! A quick look at the UCC website shows support for BLM-- a radical Marxist organization which advocates the elimination of the police (in even the most dangerous communities!) and of the nuclear family-- the primary building block of civilizations. BLM collected over $73 BILLION in corporate cash in 2020 and the only thing we have to show for it is burned looted communities, toppled statues of people FAR better than they, and an increase of thousands and thousands of extra black deaths per year. It's not hard to figure out what side of the struggle between Good and Evil people like this are on the side of. Anyone who supports such nefarious aims should not be taken seriously.

A minister who curses those selected to save a college is preaching misinformation. A Holy Ministry chastising good people who have trustworthy goals? No ... cursing our trustees is Satanic! The church of Satan has an on-campus meeting tonight, April 5th, part of college life.
In case you lack understanding of present day education, it is supported by both Liberation Theology and Satanism. For example, 1. The sexualization of minors and rejection of innocence. 2. The “black-face”of Women,(21st Century “mock-feminine” men parade in front of children with extension breasts, artificially highlighted eyes, ornate clothing, manifesting as objects,”possessions” rather that equal.)
Education also includes worse: approval of the devilment of children and youth. Surgery that scars the body. Hormone therapy for life. Not out of necessity - out of preference. - - - A Church of Christ minister tells a college board of Trustees in Dr. King’s distant future cursed changes the board makes will be erased - like them. His disdain is palpable.
No! In Dr. King’s “long corridor of history” body engineering will be seen as the pain we forced on children. A excruciating, unsuccessful anomaly once popularized by Western Media. It is exclusive to the most advanced civilizations, their youths horrifically deceived. As a disciple of Jesus, a leader - a minister - cannot perceive this misery?
Insubordination like this Minister’s angry curse reveals how far we have moved from the good, true and beautiful. Far enough to harm our children. I pray for the success of this board and against the forces attacking it.
