RE: DOn’t know if it’s liberal. Billy Graham graduated from there I think.

Yes, Wheaton is the alma mater of the Rev. Billy Graham, former speaker of the house, Dennis Hastert, and Senator Dan Coats among others.

The above folks are quite conservative. But Christine Todd Whitman ( former governor of NJ ), and a Pro-choice RINO if I ever saw one, also graduated from Wheaton.

I'ts simply Cru--Christ is no longer in the name, although its logo features a rainbow-colored cross. Its website is here.

RE: Occidental College was founded as a Presbyterian school and remained so for decades.

Ahhh yes, Obama’s alma mater. Guess they won’t have their accreditation threatened.

“We CANNOT let this crap continue to stand without a fight.”

If we don’t fight it, Christian university graduates will eventually find themselves effectively blocked from advancement in most choice fields. Many graduate programs and professional licenses will be out-of-reach for them. There can be no compromise here. We can’t make nice with the world. Christians must be wise and understand the forces of Satan will stop at nothing to ghettoize believers and stop the proclamation of His name and the gospel.

OK, what does CRU stand for?

There's a shrine to Obama in the library.

Caroline Feldman, that flaming leftie who occasionally mixes it up with Sean Hannity on Fox News, teaches there.

Oxy alumni include Rep. Jack Kemp (R-NY) and yours truly.

Interesting (removing the cross as it "might offend" non-Christians!)

We Christians are able to believe regardless of whether or not we "see a cross" as we hold it in our heart!

Non-Christians are offended not by "seeing a cross" but by the fact that there was a cross!

and the cross not only points to heaven but to them as well.

Not surprised. Theology is not accepted as an academic degree major in most colleges. Probably had to drop it when federal funding came on the scene. Good guess?
