---

A petition to President Barack Obama to replace the Church of Scientology on Guadalupe with a HEB has gone viral on social media.

Electrical and computer engineering freshman Abhishek Deb started the petition for a government class.

"The assignment was to create a petition that got at least 20 signatures, and write two paragraphs about it for class," Deb said. "I didn't expect it to go viral and get this many signatures."
