I am a Protestant, from Texas, and have never been to Bob Jones University. In the 70’s and 80’s, I was in an infant, toddler, and in elementary school.
My point wasn’t to defent Bob Jones. I know little about it, and have no affiliation whatsoever. My point was to question the conclusions of the article ... which seemed to take the history of Bob Jones University and derive that Protestantism must be wrong.

I have nothing positive to say about anything I know or have experienced in regards to BJU. However, in the spirit of a Christian heart and always trying to see the silver lining, BJU does house one of the most remarkable collections of Sacred Art in the world. Truly beautiful
True Protestantism is just that. It protests, does not accept - primarily the Apostolic Church and the Bishops/Church authority. There’s other issues, but this is the primary one.
If a Protestant doctrine no longer did this, it would be Catholic, or become so, as a necessary logic.
So, I’m fine with Bob Jones, or any Protestant disagreeing with and opposing Catholic authority/doctrine. However, the virulent, anti-Christ stuff should go the way of Luther’s “On the Jews” rant. Part of a time of very acrimonious (to say the least) division.
We can still have heated and passionate disagreements without this, I hope.
