Is this Professor real?

I just finished my first class meeting for African American History and was joyfully surprised with the experience. My professor (who is black) walks into the class and begins to introduce himself and the class. He uses some very accessible comedic lines about football teams and such things and then to my jaw dropping astonishment announces that he is a Christian as he's going through his past careers before teaching. It went something a little like this.

 

" So I quit my management position and decided to go into fulltime miniseries and the service of God. I am a Christian, a 114% to be exact. My christian viewpoints will tend to pop up from time to time in this class. You can argue with me about my faith if you like. It won't matter, you'll be wrong, I'm right for I am the teacher. And if you don't believe in Jesus Christ, I'll flunk you. How's that for being open minded? 

..........silence

The class went from happy laughing at light jokes to dead silence.

Inside I was screaming Halleujah! He was of course not serious about the last couple of bits, but I thought it was great how he sarcastically demonstrated what all those supposed "free-thinking" liberal teachers have been hypocritically promoting in there own classes all these years (by this statement I mean there telling you different ideas are good, and then when someone brings up something different from there own savagely attacking and patronizing it).

I'm going to love this class. He comes right out on issues such as the death penalty and racism, no hiding behind relative answers, and coolest thing of all, is that when he address's problems such as these, he  looks at the root of the problem, the nature of man. I'm afraid I'm liking this guy too much and am just going to swallow whatever he says. But still, it's a better feeling then all the nausea other professors have shoved down my gullet.

That just sounds outrageously awesome.  What a blessing.  I hope your schooling is good and that your schedule isn't too pushed.
