CBN.com – (CBN News) - Many of America's leading universities were started by Christians as places to teach the Bible, train students for the ministry, and nurture the values needed to strengthen America. The above sounds an awful lot like the current education system in the Middle Eastern countries where the students study the Koran and how to be good Muslims, and don't bother much with algebra. I wouldn't hold that up as an ideal.....

¨They are not teaching freshman English nor American history, nor basic mathematics and science.¨ Umm, what university doesn´t teach these things? None that I know of. And the figure of 35% of the students with a STD is bogus.

BLACK: Well, basically, what they are not teaching are the things you and I learned at college. They are not teaching freshman English nor American history, nor basic mathematics and science. They are teaching radical courses about sexuality, and benign courses on vampires and the undead. That is actually the name of one course. This is the biggest crock of horse puckey I have ever read. The courses they cited are the rarity......the norm is the usual courses taught at colleges. And universities have not changed in a hundred years.......they have always been a center for free thinking and the exploration of ideas and new trends..........as they should be. The right is so steeped in paranoia and fear that anything that is slightly different from their perspective causes a huge wave of unnecessary intolerance and criticism. And you might ask yourself why is that the most intelligent and educated among us tend to be the most liberal in their views. ted
