View Full Version : What about Christian correctness at conservative colleges?

The author makes some great points. Speech isn't necessarily free at con institutes of learning. Some clips from the article...

Political correctness may run amok at liberal colleges, but what about Christian correctness at conservative colleges?

Trigger warnings, safe spaces, micro-aggressions — over the past year or so, pundits, politicians and other serious people had a lot of fun bemoaning academia as a liberal la-la land where hands are held and minds are coddled...

Attacks on “political correctness” champion educational values: the importance of grappling with challenging ideas and texts, mixing it up with different kinds of people, expanding your worldview, facing uncomfortable facts. How will students grow into strong, independent adults in a tough and complex world if they’ve spent four years lying on a mental fainting couch? Good question. There’s a whole swath of academia, though, that gets left out of the discussion, despite the fact that its restrictions on speech and behavior, on what is taught in the classroom or argued in a lecture series, would make Yale and Northwestern and the rest look like New Orleans during Mardi Gras.

I’m referring, of course, to evangelical and Catholic colleges. Some of these have no compunction about limiting freedoms that other colleges consider just a part of normal life. Many have strictures on dress (“no more than two piercings in an earlobe are allowed” for women at Pensacola Christian College), on dating and social life, even on how faculty members conduct themselves in their own homes...

Students have been expelled for being LGBT; professors have been fired or forced to resign for coming out as transgender, for getting pregnant outside marriage or for getting divorced. According to a report by the Human Rights Campaign, there was a sharp uptick last year in the number of schools that requested and received exemptions to Title IX, the federal law prohibiting sex discrimination. From 2013 to 2015, 35 schools obtained waivers from the U.S. Department of Education that would allow them to discriminate against students and faculty who are LGBT, female or pregnant.

Religious colleges also have plenty of restrictions on intellectual inquiry and debate, as well as on political associations. Student clubs for nonbelievers can be restricted: The University of Dayton, Notre Dame and Baylor, all religious schools, refused requests to recognize atheist or humanist student organizations. In 2009, Liberty University even banned the student Democratic club. (University president Jerry Falwell Jr. recently made headlines for calling on students to “end those Muslims” by carrying concealed weapons.)

Conservatives stood up for free speech at Yale in 2015 when students protested a lecture invitation to Ayaan Hirsi Ali, a critic of Islam, from the conservative William F. Buckley Jr. Program speaker series. I agreed with conservatives on this one — but where are they when the shoe is on the other foot? Catholic colleges, for example, will not invite supporters of abortion rights: The Catholic University of America even banned the actor Stanley Tucci from speaking on Italian cinema because of his support for Planned Parenthood...

When it comes to academic content, it’s hard to argue that a college that makes faculty adhere to Christian fundamentalist tenets, or that refuses to let its students engage with pro-choice speakers even when they’re talking on another subject, is providing an intellectual toolbox for the modern world...

If students are being denied a broad, mind-stretching education at universities often considered among the best in the world, what about the biased, blinkered, partial education that students are receiving at religious colleges? What about the assumption that no changing of the mind shall be permitted? Isn’t education supposed to challenge one’s settled beliefs?

And with Title IX exemptions in hand, colleges are free to ban and expel LGBT students, discriminate against women, use the Bible as a science text and fire professors who disagree — without putting their federal funding at risk. The truth-in-advertising principle may protect the right of private colleges to do this. But the last time I looked, separation of church and state was still in the Bill of Rights.

The author specifically notes that the schools on question are christian institutions then attempts to move the goal posts by transforming them into conservative ones.
It is hardly surprising that christian schools will adhere to their tenants. Its kinda what makes them christian schools.

The author named Christian schools with conservative policies. He pointed out the areas in which free speech isn't allowed... the kind of speech that liberal schools permit. It's all in the article.

Why would a christian school have an atheist anything ? Why would a christian school have need of anything in direct violation of the tenants of their faith ? Theyre not attempting to be inclusive they are specifically being exclusive.

Why wouldn't a school want to let its students explore all information and views that they're going to encounter throughout life? How is learning about other religions or no religion at all a violation of faith?

Again that's not the point. When any institution does these things I don't consider them as acting according to Christ's teachings. It's a lot different from how you run your Christian household.

"Students have been expelled for being LGBT; professors have been fired or forced to resign for coming out as transgender; for getting pregnant outside marriage or for getting divorced; discriminating against students and faculty who are LGBT, female or pregnant; calling on students to “end those Muslims” by carrying concealed weapons discriminate against women; use the Bible as a science text and fire professors who disagree."

Because the school is serving a market that has established this. If someone were unsettled in their faith a Christian school would be a poor choice.

I'll get raked over the coals for this but I can see the bolded part and don't necessarily disagree with it, nor do I feel it is that out of line with the teachings of Christ. I would not expect any of that to be tolerated at a "Christian" school. I would have to question the validity of the stuff that follows...especially about the Muslims. The line about women probably stems from the belief of some Christians that women are not to usurp authority over a man. Using the Bible as a science text probably is talking about teaching Creationism...but I would expect that at a "Christian" school, wouldn't you?

Jesus would accept those people in the bolded part. It doesn't mean he wouldn't preach to them but he wouldn't hate them.

Falwell Jr. made his comments after the San Bernardino shootings.

The president of Liberty University urged students at the Christian school to carry concealed weapons on campus to counter any possible armed attack like the mass killings in San Bernardino, Calif.
"Let's teach them a lesson if they ever show up here," President Jerry Falwell Jr. told students at a convocation Friday.

"I've always thought if more good people had concealed carry permits, then we could end those Muslims before they walked in," Falwell said.

Falwell Jr. also said student Democrats couldn't tie their organization to Liberty University. Read the comment below from the email. The Democratic party is about so much more than abortion or gay marriage. And Liberty also implied that Democrats were socialists, another falsehood.

"It was the fall of 2008, and Liberty University suddenly found itself dealing with a problem it had never before encountered in its more than 40-year history: College Democrats.

The largest evangelical Christian university in the world, whose doctrinal statement (https://web.archive.org/web/20150415173915/http://www.liberty.edu/index.cfm?PID=6909) at the time declared its “strong commitment to political conservatism, total rejection of socialism and firm support for America’s economic system of free enterprise,” had never had a chapter of the student organization on its campus.

For a while, the newly formed group went about its business as College Dems at any other school would. They held meetings and drank too much coffee and campaigned aggressively for Barack Obama. But the following spring, the club’s leadership received an e-mail (http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/05/22/AR2009052202189.html) from the vice president of student affairs: “I must inform you that the College Democrats club is no longer going to be recognized as a Liberty University club,” it read. “We are unable to lend support to a club whose parent organization stands against the moral principles held by Liberty University.”

Well, Falwell is an idiot so ... there's that. I don't want him teaching my kid either.

I looked at that article (I read it the other day) as using quotes from an idiot like Falwell to take shots at "Christian" universities for taking legitimate "Christian" positions with regards to faculty and student body.

Jesus would forgive their sins and tell them to sin no more. But they generally don't see it as sinning and don't seek forgiveness.

I go to a Christian university. When I applied and enrolled I knew exactly what it meant to be a student here and so do all of the other students that enroll here, otherwise they wouldn't have applied. It's a choice to apply and then enroll in the college that you choose, especially private Christian universities where you know it's different than a public state school.

well, your question involves wondering why a christian school is not behaving as a non christian school might.

sure you can ask the question but the answer is pretty obvious.

as Miss Norah pointed out, she specifically wanted a christian school because, among other reasons pertaining to her educational goals, budget etc etc etc, because it did behave in the ways you note.

if you wanted to pursue a career in, say, hard science you would gravitate to an MIT sort of place as opposed to a liberal arts one (liberal arts meant as per the original meaning).

My point is that if it's fair for some to think of liberal institutions as being amoral hotbeds of communism and lack of scruples, it's also fair for others to think of Christian or conservative institutions as being rigid, controlling and biased.

I don't hold it against people who go to Christian schools or liberal schools. It's a matter of choice.

it would be easy to describe (some) secular schools as being rigid controlling and biased.

Some have forbade conservative political groups, white only ones, straight only ones while allowing progressive, black or non heterosexual ones.

a bias is not a bias if you agree with it. Miss Norah shares the christian bias, Master Bobby did not choose the other biases but gets them like it or not.

I think it's fair to scrutinize and comment on any institution as long as its coming from an informed point of view. If a school is deserving of scrutiny for something that I think is personally wrong then as long as i'm not guessing about the facts or lying about it then it's fair to give an opinion I think. I don't agree with what alot of universities do or campaign for but ultimately I don't go to that school. If my school started to do things that I didn't like then I would comment on it, I would try and organize, and I would try to make my voice heard, but if that didn't work and my school started to do things that I don't agree with without any hope of it stopping then i'd transfer. In my opinion the reason why alot of the more liberal secular schools get on the news is because of their political stances and their publicizing of those stances. You don't hear about Abilene Christian on the news all that often outside of west Texas because they don't go out of their way to make news and also the students here want to be here for the reasons that the school exists.

I'm sorry but I've been to both and seen the product of both and by any objective measure the education you receive at a conservative parochial school may fit far more into ones world view but compared to a quality liberal arts education they are indeed second rate institutions of education by any objective measure.

Most conservative parochial schools teach a student how to advance their lives within an insular community and not the broad scope of society and humanity at large thus when they have to deal with those they tend to be woefully unprepared.

Hope College (http://www.hope.edu/index.html), although same say it is more a place for women to find husbands. Not as academically oriented as the ICS.

Your problem is that you have no reading comprehension. Cons are famous for bashing colleges as bastions of liberal thinking that are trying to indoctrinate students in socialism, godlessness or whatever else they perceive as liberal propaganda. Therefore it's fair to criticize conservative colleges for their own indoctrination attempts.

Somehow its why Trump gets praised when he brings out the word "Pussy" on national television. Somehow I feel his supporters are the same ones so upset by Janet Jackson's tit at the super bowl.

Why is a presidential candidate commenting on calling someone a "pussy" in front of kids good, but Janet Jacksons nipple is bad?

(For the record, I am okay with both the nipple and the pussy)

We both know one can use scripture to support almost anything.

How about "love your neighbor as yourself" when it comes to LGBT, Muslims etc.
And what do you take that to mean ?
And how do you know if one is doing it ?
Yes, one can attempt to prove anything in scripture so long as the one you are attempting to convince doesn't know the Good Book.
