I hope this isn’t Liberty University. My niece goes there.

Ask her if there’s food inequality in the socialist paradise of Venezuela.

Or even food.

What school?

Social justice should never be taught through the church. The Gospel is about the Nazarene His life His suffering and His resurrection

Liberal Christians want the money to flow through the government because the government has the guns and power to confiscate the money.
IOW the ends justifies the means.

Thanks for the warning or perhaps confirmation on what is going on in our Christian, or “seemingly/former Christian” colleges.

Leftist parasites have thrived and grown fat in academia- partially because it lacks any hard metrics of success, but mostly because of massive student debt and government spending supporting the educate-industrial complex

It’s clear they are even infecting supposedly Christian schools as well

I went to William Jewell College just outside of Kansas City back in the early to mid 80’s. WJC was founded by Southern Baptist before the Civil War. The religion department was pretty liberal and I noticed some liberalism from some of my professors but it wasn't too bad.
Since then it has proceeded down the rails and is now just another secular college. In fact, Southern Baptist in Missouri have cut off all funding and disassociated with WJC.
I hate to admit that I was an alum and over my teaching career tried to dissuade students from going there. The college president gave a speech in which he talked of overcoming the “stigma” of being known as a Christian college. Mission successful.

My nieces went to a “Christian” University.
Both were fairly conservative.
One is now a wacko lib who wants to give everything away as reparations (other people’s $$$ of course)

The other trusts me enough to know she was only told 1/10 the truth.
Still she came out a Bernie supporter.

Back 20 years ago, the roadmap was set to use the University system to change America.
It has happened...

Christian schools are run by humans.

My Son went to a Christian grade school.

The school participated in the Science Fair program.

The winner went on to the city competition and so forth.

He did his project in the sixth grade and I went to the school to see it.

I was amazed at some of the projects.

I knew these kids and most of them had a hard time telling their left foot from their right foot, but here they were designing nuclear power plants.

Their parents were doing the project.

I thought maybe it was just this year.

My Son did his seventh grade project and I went to the Science Fair.

Same thing.

Kids that couldn’t make change were designing Faster Than Light engines.

Their parents were doing them.

So around comes the Science Fair when my Son is an eighth grader.

I didn’t do his project, but I asked him lots of questions.

“Is this the clearest way to present your data?”

“What is your Null Hypothesis?”

He did a great job.

I went to the school Science Fair.

His project was by far the best.

The school’s answer?

“No winner this year.”

Christian schools are run by humans.

Christian colleges are no more immune from mindrotted Leftist professors and ideology than any other college. And “historically Christian” colleges are exactly that: historically Christian but Godless now.

And, let’s not kid ourselves, most of the kids at Christian colleges are still boozing it up on the weekends and screwing whatever they can. They just might have to take a couple religion classes, and that make it’s a “Christian” college.

There are only a handful of actually CONSERVATIVE colleges in the country. Everything else is exactly what you can expect from academia.

Want to know about unfair advantages, then look at the children of famous alumni and ask whether they deserved admission to ‘name’ universities because of their talents and achievements, or because of their names. Look at the children of politicians, like Chelsea Clinton, who has had high paying jobs for doing little or nothing - because of her name. The same will without question be true for Obama’s children - because of who their parents are. Are the children of the Hollywood famous who also make a fortune in Hollywood all there because they inherited great talent, or because of the opportunities afforded them because of their name and who their parents are?

The real dichotomy in society is not based on skin color, or racial privilege. It's based on the ability of those with power and position to promote power and position amongst their own - and to suppress those who are on the outside.

For most of us, the ability to forge a better life for ourselves and our family is based upon the opportunity and ability to climb the American ‘ladder’ through hard work, ambition, and self-discipline. This is the path to a better life that the left and the elites don't want you to have. This is why the middle class has been struggling. The ‘elite’ left (i.e. - those who have theirs and don't want you to compete with them) promote a society in which there are the ‘superior’ (amongst whom they count themselves) and the rest of us - all equal beneath them.

I would tell the college that you teach your children not to harbor prejudices, and to live as loving human beings. As such, you feel that the college is teaching racism.

Conservatives are the most generous when it comes to charitable giving. Liberals are quite stingy.

Why are you shy about naming the school.

In El Salvador in 1979, the Church was leading the charge toward revolution with its Theology of Liberation. Not all of the Catholics...just La Iglesia Popular. Liberal Protestants too poured in to march in Leftist parades and show “solidarity with the people of El Salvador”.

I often said in the ‘80s that the average Salvadoran vaquero with barely two pennies to rub together is a stronger anti-communist than the average upper middle class person of my home town of Nashville, Tennessee.

This tripe flows through many once “Catholic” schools like Notre Dame, Marquette, St Louis U, and many more.

Virtually all universities and seminaries are but extensions of the Frankfurt School.

I know more than most about “Christian” schools, colleges, and seminaries; I cannot name one I trust.

The only schools I would consider off hand are Hillsdale or Grove City.
