Anyway, I haven't been in academia for many years now, but from bits and pieces I catch on the news and from friends, it seems not much has changed. In the halls of political correctness, all religions are given a fair shake except for Christianity, which to the guardians of PC thought is the religion of oppression. I haven't seen much oppression at the hands of Christians these days, but hey, I've only lived in "blue states" all my life.

Excuse me, Ten, but you don't a have to live in a red state or to be going to school to feel the threatened oppression from the religious right/Christians. After all, they are not requesting that they be allowed to practice their religion in peace nor are they are encouraging others to join them. Instead, they are demanding that we do as they say.

From wanting the ten commandments in public buildings to wanting religion taught in public schools to threatening the impeachment of judges they don't like to opposing gay marriage to shooting abortion MDs and personnel to promoting creationism in public schools to attacking Hollywood over its morals............the implicitly threatened oppression by evangelical Christians is very loud and clear.

Most people in this world would be grateful that they can practice their relgion in peace. Not these holier than thou types.........they believe its from God to their ears.
