Over the years, Campus Reform has reported on hundreds of instances of anti-Christian sentiment at American universities.
Here are five of the worst instances from this year.
1. Harvard University.
Harvard Law professor Elizabeth Bartholet called for a ban on homeschooling, decrying “conservative Christians” in the process.
In a Harvard Gazette interview entitled “A warning on homeschooling,” Bartholet attributed rising interest in homeschooling to the “growth in the conservative evangelical movement,” stating that “conservative Christians” use the practice to “escape from the secular education in public schools,” after a failed effort “to have their children exempted from exposure to alternative values in schools.”
2. Pepperdine University.
An op-ed written by a Pepperdine University senior advised the Christian school to “rethink” its “religious framework.”
“While religion plays a major role in American culture, a growing trend of religious skepticism rising in the U.S. leaves some Christian-affiliated schools with outdated structures and practices,” wrote the student. “In the coming years, Pepperdine should consider altering its policies that come with its Christian affiliation to improve the community and the experience among its students.”
According to Pepperdine’s website, 53 percent of its students identify with a Christian denomination.
3. Oregon State University.
Women, Gender, and Sexuality Studies professor Susan Shaw alleged that “White Christians” are responsible for California fires due to their “denial of climate science.”
“The West is burning while most white Christians turn away from the root causes of the devastation,” Shaw wrote in an article for Baptist News General. “White evangelicals continue to support Donald Trump overwhelmingly, even though the Trump administration has tried to roll back more than 100 environmental protection regulations.”
Shaw also wrote that “the White church is invested in white supremacy” and that “White Christians will have to change.”
4. Texas A&M University.
Campus Reform exclusively obtained a classroom presentation written by anthropology professor Filipe Castro, who argued that “American WASPs (White, Anglo-Saxon Protestants) tried to keep Irish, Germans, Greeks, Italians, Eastern Europeans, Jews, and Catholics out of the white race.”
He also said that faith “inspires people to do what they think is right: impose God’s will, expressed in God’s laws, on the rest of us,” and characterized religion as ”what keeps the poor from murdering the rich.”
In his Facebook posts, Castro stated that religion is a “neurological defect" and "magic thinking.”
5. University of Vermont.
Religion professor Ilyse Morgenstein Fuerst blamed “white Christian nationalism” for racial tensions in the United States.
“White Christian nationalism is the thing we’re all watching—it’s inextricable from the anti-Blackness murdering folks, it is baked into the state,” wrote Fuerst on Twitter. “Resources from all over, of course, but if you’re ignore [sic] religion STILL—I can’t fathom why, at all."
Fuerst also retweeted a picture of President Trump holding a Bible alongside her own profane comments.
Recurring theme. Rationalizing the coming cleansing?
Socialists hate god, who they say does not exist..
AGW / climate change is the lefts religion.
Islam is right about women and gays.
Item #4: we did! Down to “Irish need not apply here.”
Question: “Does ‘Christian Nationalism’ supplant The First Amendment of EVERY American citizen, even those who do not support this idea?”
Why would it? Everyone, including the founders, knows Darwin was right and unfortunately that tequires death of the weak, the old, the unborn and whomever else is not the fittest.
Go murder. Rape, kill and destroy whomever uou can... before someone takes you out.
Spirit of antichrist
Manifesting in them; as usual
1. It is more than just ‘conservative Christians’ escaping the public schools, and for good reason.
2. ‘outdated structures’ - I’d call them ‘timeless’ when they are done right and all the more reason to preserve them when there are more ‘modern’ alternatives.
3. I didn’t realize there was a ‘White church.’ I am a big fan of White Castle though and stop for their sliders when in their areas.
4. Christianity permits free will to choose right and wrong but if I had to have a will imposed on me I’d be most fearful of a non Christian one.
5. It sounds like an unparseable rant in application for a tenured position.
The beginning of more to come? I see this growing.” I remember when studying Hebrew at a liberal synagogue some would openly verbalize tearing down all the crosses and burning the churches. Secular people are as radical.
Amazing that these supposedly well educated people have never read a history book.
The Tribulation is coming to planet Earth
Go murder? Rape?
How in the TRUCK do you call that answer to my posted question? I did NOT infere to any action of violence, for any reason, but YOU DID!
You need to go home, and re-write your submitted response.
Right on time!
She said that to help you think through the logical conclusion to your postulate. Think it through...
Indeed
I have thought it through.
I asked the question because there exists the notion that those who are quite proud of their 1st amendment rights can actually trump the same rights of others, ‘and that’s ok’.
When the Pagan community expressed their 2st amendment right in suing the V.A. to include their religious symbol on a fallen hero’s headstone, a whole bunch of nice quiet Christian folks got all uppity (how dare they) over the Pagans even just having their symbol among all those honored Christian buried heroes.
So, taking that further, should Christians get that uppity over one headstone in a national cemetery, how much more uppity would those same folkds be if they were to attempt to impose their Christian nationalism upon fellow Americans who are Pagan? Would they attempt that old old saw ‘convert or die’? So much for the 1st amendment for everybody!!
