A professor at the University of Connecticut took it upon himself to make a hostile confrontation of Christians who were street preaching on the campus.

James Boster, who is a Professor of Anthropology, spent two hours trying to make students leave the area where several evangelists were sharing the truth of Christ and handing out information regarding Scripture.

At one point, Boster ran up to one of the evangelists and began swearing in his face.  Boster stood just inches away from the preacher and shouted that the man was ignorant for his belief in Christ.

Boster started chants of “Hail Darwin” and demanded to know if Christians in the area had accepted Darwin as their lord and savior.

Boster defended himself in an e-mail to Christian News Network saying that Darwin’s message that all humans are brothers and sisters and all mammals are our cousin is closer to the gospels than the preachers who were telling students to turn from their sin and accept Jesus.

The University of Connecticut released a statement saying the professor’s actions were unacceptable.

“Everyone has a right to exercise free speech on our campuses,” the school said to NBC.  “At the same time, we expect our faculty to act in a way that promotes civil discourse and to express themselves respectfully.  The use of abusive language and the confrontational posture seen here are inconsistent with UConn values.”
