    Then again, we could require all colleges to teach skills, comprehension, critical thinking and various things that allow a society to thrive, and prohibit political dogma and propaganda.
    If you can't teach and wish to preach politics, you don't belong in a university- propaganda is not higher education.

    Seems like it's counter intuitive to subsidize people who are in the business of destroying the things that allow a nation and it's people to remain free and strong.
    Matter of fact, that conduct should be criminal when it is sold as "education", because that if fraudulent as well as an attempt to undermine the core values of the nation.

    Nothing to do with creationism. Has to do with views of the role of government.

    'You' are always the topic, with elitist liberal academians, who disdainfully sneer down their noses at you.. but give them more money, and keep them in the liberal gated communities, so they can have the necessary platform to bite the hands that feed them.

    Yes. I know conservatives in all of those areas you listed, and most of them Christian as well.

    That would indeed be a neat trick, considering he passed away not very long ago.

    Why is that? Because they do not agree with you.

    Of course. You can't run a college without one.

    It's a matter of, is it a help or a hindrance to your career if it is not a theological career you are after.

    Liberal ideology. I assume by your post you believe conservative "science types" are inferior to liberal ones. It was your post, not mine.

    Never met a Big Mac she didn't like. I hope she doesn't mistake that microphone for a burrito.

    Well, the grand majority of scientists are intelligent, would you not agree?

    Oh, wait, you think alongside evolution, creationism in the bible should be taught as science?

    I employ people, and quite frankly the folks coming out of the liberal hell holes aren't doing much to impress me. Those coming from Christian universities tend to have better work ethic and a lot more pride in what they do...
