IF public colleges and universities are allowed to deny acceptance on the basis of faith, that might just lay the groundwork for step 2...... certain jobs can become off limits for the 4.0 grad of a Christian college. I know it's a stretch, but a few years ago, the idea of banning any talk of God in public schools, nativity displays in public places, removal of the Ten Commandments from courthouses, and lawsuits brought in the attempt to remove "In God we trust" from US currency was unheard of. Second class citizenry for Christians may not be that far behind.
Don't get me wrong....If a public college or university in America is denying enterance based on religious belief, that should be exposed and fought against.
However, my point is this...Study English, Math, Science, etc., and get good scores on your SAT/ACT's. This is what will get you into college/university.
I don't know the laws in California, but I believe that if you are a resident for a year, you are elligible to attend a California college/university. Maybe, California doesn't put much emphasis on SAT/ACT scores for in-state residents. This may have caused easier access to Cal. colleges/universities. Maybe there are Christian schools in California that are graduating kids with poor academic skills. I would bet, though, that liberal, atheistic loaded colleges, just want to keep the Christians out.
As far as jobs go...Grades are always secondary. If someone likes you or wants you, they will find a way to hire you. (The same goes for firing, if they don't like you...they'll find a way to get rid of you.) There are many people with bad grades that get hired because someone liked them. Plus, your kidding yourself if you don't already see the pressure of keeping quite about your Christian beliefs at work. In a effort to prevent a "hostile work environment", companies already quiet discussion about sin and God. This is getting greater as companies and society equate homosexuality to civil rights.
Sincerely
I know it's a stretch
I dont think it is a stretch.
