Im trying to eliminate discrimination against atheists, Appignani told The New York Times. So this is a step in that direction, to make atheism legitimate.
versus:
Thomas LeBlanc, executive vice president and provost... We didnt want anyone to misunderstand and think that this was to be an advocacy position for someone who is an atheist,
The Soviet Union had some of these. You could get a doctorate in atheism.
What’s to study in and of atheism? It’s all made up anyway. And if there is no God there are no standards. But what the hell... Now they might find that interesting.
And these government education goobers are the ones who claim that Trump U degrees are worthless.
“Major in atheism studies! It’s easy—there’s nothing to it!”
” $2.2 million donation from Louis Appignani, a retired businessman and former president and chairman of the modeling school Barbizon... “
It figures that a guy with no conscience ripping off young girls all his life in for profit modeling schools that put them on the fast track to working the fryer at McDonalds would want to start up and atheism school chair.
You can’t spell “scum” without UM.
Really shows how “uneducated” the educators are.... why not just study philosophy. Have they heard of Hagel,Nietzsche,Kant, Marx, Feuerbach?
Just please, someone ask them that. Atheism isn’t something “new”. I’m just amazed at how stupid and uneducated the press and even the administrators of these schools are.
Or it could be just a money grab, which makes more sense. How about a “chair” for flat earth...or a “chair” for unicorns?
Great choice for a degree: indoctrinating people about something that supposedly does not exist. Hmmm ...
Isn’t Donna Sha-Lay-La, still President there?
I suppose if UofM has chairs for the other religions, than why not?

If he wants to make atheists look better, the first thing he can do is tell Mickie Winestein to leave the military alone and go ahead, die and go on to hell.
After seeing agnostics, atheists, and humanists taking over Religious universities and seminaries, it might be a welcome change to see some evangelical Christian take over THIS.
