Before the student could begin that presentation, the instructor handed her a letter stating that she could not utter the phrase as she had on a previous occasion. The letter also said that the instructor would interrupt the student and ask her to sit down if she attempted to utter the phrase. CAIR requested that Whitworth investigate the incident, issue a formal reprimand to the instructor, offer a written apology to the student, and distribute a campus-wide memorandum stating the college's commitment to religious diversity. CAIR also asked that the student be allowed to complete the class.
Students are thus free to read their Bibles, recite the rosary, or pray before meals or math tests.
