Is anyone forcing a student to go to a "Secular" university rahter than one of a religious bent? If you are so devout as to be left quaking at the curriculim, then attend a college or university that is religious in nature. If the argument is that these religious schools are too expensive, then there is a definate problem with the priorities of the religious groups running them. The first priority of a faith based university should be to educate those of faith and to do so without limiting the ability of students to attend because of finacial reasons. After all, has anyone seen some of the financials of the organized religions lately? It's mind boggling how much a "non profit" organization can take in on an annual basis.

Universities will only change when have a degree from Berkley is worthless for you future employement. Even better, when a degree from Berkley is met with laughter and pity.

A lot of them are probably worse than the "secular" institutions; see post #10.

Apostasy notwithstanding, we're talking First Amendment fairness as much as curriculum. Yeah, I'd probably not attend any college whose English curriculum omitted Shakespeare and substituted every Marxist polemic the professors could lay their hands on, but the professors' and universities' craven fear of admitting dissenting viewpoints should also be tackled . . . with litigation.

Good news on that front: See David Limbaugh's Targeting Campus Speech Codes.
