How do we evaluate access to religious organizations on American college/university campuses such as Stanford in terms of modern media campfires?

This yarn was inspired by Election.

Ajay Satan, a Stanford law student, was a big fan of Marvel Comics and was fascinated by the two Marvel characters, Scarlet Witch and Gray Goblin. Scarlet Witch symbolized feminine-fury, while Gray Goblin symbolized terrorism and perdition. These two iconic and offbeat Marvel characters revealed a general human fascination with using dramatic characters to re-present emotions regarding divinity, ethics, wrath, and paranoia. Ajay Satan wanted to understand/appreciate why Scarlet Witch and Gray Goblin represented 'American values.'

A campus serial killer suddenly appeared and was cutting the earlobes off his victims (male/female) before slitting their throats. Everyone wondered why this psycho wanted to cut off and keep the earlobes of his victims, and witness-reports confirmed that the killer was indeed a male. One day, the killer sent a notice to the Stanford Gazette, which stated, "I am the Gemini-Killer [GK], and my intention is to awaken American students to the reality that the Trump Administration does not listen to the needs of the people and youth/students, which is why Americans are in a position to lose their precious earlobes!" Everyone agreed that GK was a deranged sociopath, even though it was true that many were 'dissatisfied' with 'TrumpUSA'.

When U.S. President Donald Trump read this notice in the Stanford Gazette, he retorted by tweeting, "The Trump Administration does not condone the cutting off of earlobes by loony protesters trying to use the public pulpit to make some kind of dramatic 'statement.' America is a place for civility and intellect, not rage and juvenile hostilities." However, Hillary Clinton, former U.S. senator, suggested that GK's subtle (if wild) suggestion that the government 'neglects' the needs of the everyday man should not be ignored regardless of who said it and especially if it's about the theoretically sensitive government. Soon, Hillary and Donald were engaged in a tweet-fight which spawned countless political cartoons alluding to GK (the Gemini-Killer) on the Stanford campus.

Finally, one day, GK (the Gemini-Killer) sent a comics-cartoon to the Stanford Gazette which was about Marvel Comics' Scarlet Witch and Gray Goblin getting married and challenging Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton as a 'tandem' (even though they had historically been rivals). This notice from GK was actually a suicide-note intended to convey the belief that modern social criticism is anything but 'clean.' GK was therefore actually Ajay Satan, a law student at Stanford intrigued by Scarlet Witch and Gray Goblin for creative and social reasons. After GK (Ajay) committed suicide, Marvel made a film-adaptation of GK, using a Ouija-board storyline to bring Scarlet Witch and Gray Goblin to life in a political-thriller. It made Marvel millions. Stanford Christians tweeted, "Our campus has yielded an offbeat 'free-speech drama'."
