University-Sanctioned Terms Not God-Sanctioned Terms

In an effort to make Texas A&M University a more holy and moral place, many Christians leaders are taking a stand against profane university-sanctioned terms such as “Red Ass” and “BTHO.”

The movement began when sophomore Christian fraternity member Jack Martin realized that curse words were not very God-honoring. “As Christians, we are called to a higher standard,” Martin said.  “There’s never an instance where it is acceptable to use a curse word. Instead, try alternatives. One of my favorite examples is ‘Let’s go Brandon.’”

Martin is leading by example and has encouraged his fellow Christian men in their weekly Bible studies. “I’ve started saying ‘Beat the heck out of midterms, Ags!’ and ‘That’s so Reveille,’” Martin said.

Ultimately, Martin hopes to spark conversation and create meaningful change by removing university-sanctioned terms that are not God-sanctioned. In the meantime, he plans to remind others that Jesus loves all sinners, even those who use profane language.
