Excuse me if I’m being ignorant...
But doesn’t our CONSTITUTION say we have FREEDOM OF RELIGION??
I don’t recall it say anything about ACADEMIC FREEDOM.
Am I just wrong??
We CANNOT let this crap continue to stand without a fight.
RE: But doesn’t our CONSTITUTION say we have FREEDOM OF RELIGION??
I think the question is WHO is doing the accrediting? Is it a government body or a private institution.
If it is the former, yes, then we have a constitutional problem.
If it is the latter, well, they can make their own rules (freedom of Association applies). And Wheaton can give them the proverbial finger and seek a different private accrediting body.
BTW, Wheaton is the alma mater of the Rev. Billy Graham, former speaker of the house, Dennis Hastert, and Senator Dan Coats among others.

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.
