University of Massachusetts Chaplain Kenneth Higgins, who sought to give students school credit for campaigning for Obama, has been denied . Higgins told students last week:
If you’re scared about the prospects for this election, you’re not alone. The most important way to make a difference in the outcome is to activate yourself. It would be just fine with McCain if Obama supporters just think about helping, then sleep in and stay home between now and Election Day.
Of course, students can still campaign, it’s just that no academic credits will be granted for their service. But I think Higgins would agree that this lack of earthly reward shouldn’t stop followers from avoiding the sin of omission of not campaigning.
