My biggest fear is not just that the graduates from PHC will make our country into a theocracy, it's that they will make it into a military industrial theocracy just like the German Nationalist Party did in 1935.

Interesting conclusion. I was unaware that the Nazi party was controlled by home-schooled evangelical Christians.

I just can't see how right-wing Christian extremist from the Patrick Henry "Madrasa" will be able to preserve the liberties of homosexuals, single mothers, women's right to choose, pagans, transgender peoples and Muslims.

Interesting that the author seems to think rights are best secured by cutting Christians out of the process. Very interesting. Further, single mothers, pagans, and Muslims would have nothing to worry about. On the other hand, Christians are against celebrating immorality and murder, so the homosexualis and the abortionists -- although not cut out of the political process unless they choose to be by forcing judicial mandates -- would have some opposition.

Isn't it interesting that VOICE OF FREEDOM comes unglued when freedom is exercised. They conclude the students are extremists, but offer no evidence.

You know, other than the Muslims which group on this list does this idiot think Islamist extremists will protect?

In his extreme bias against home schooling and Christians, the author forgets to mention that PHC does not advocate a policy of conversion or death. Nor do they advocate the homicide bombing of innocents or the beheading of those they deem "infidels".

Whoa! Moral relativism on steriods. This is absolutely scary. David Limbaugh is right.

It reminds me of a bumper sticker I truly saw in Washington, DC (on a car with a rainbow sticker, by the way): "Too many Christians, too few lions." I wouldn't have believed it if I didn't see it myself.

Let me see here, what part of the Golden Rule requires that you kill as many people as you can who do not believe the way you do? Was it the "love your enemies" part? The part where you pray for and help your enemies? Or is it the prohibition on stealing that will eventually tank our county if we strove for that sort of value?

Too bad they don't apply hate speech accusations against folks who speak the real hate speech against Christianity. Don't ever think persecution can't come here. It's already here; the laws just haven't caught up with what's in people's hearts.

... is not your ordinary school of higher learning....

PHCC offers almost as much science and math as my high school did. I guess it's more a "Math is Tough" school for aspiring Barbies.

I'm no believer in the literal truth of some things in the Bible. However, to compare this to a madrassas is ridiculous. For one thing, no one from PHC is going to become President unless they're elected; and once in, he or she would have one or two fixed terms. Someone from a madrassas would most likely become ruler of Iraq at the point of a gun. And, once in, he's not going to stand for election, ever. He'll probably only leave feet-first.

The PHC may teach things not in the Christian mainstream, but at least they're not teaching their students that it's justifiable to kill all non-Christians.

Yes, of course. Nationalism is the sin, not socialism!

Well, I guess they truly wouldn't enjoy driving behind me in Washington, DC.

My bumper sticker reads ..

The campus is immaculate, everyone is clean-cut and cheerful. The students about 75% of who have been taught at home rather than in schools - are required to sign a statement of faith before they arrive, confirming (among other things) that they have a literal belief in the teachings of the Bible. They are trained … to "lead our nation and shape our culture with timeless biblical values".

I’m no fundamentalist Christian and I see nothing here that is “extremist” (a term used five times in the article in reference to the school or its students) or even necessarily “right-wing”(three times). Furthermore I am far from “alarmed” that several students from this college are politically involved (wonder if there are any working for the Democratic party that the authors neglected to mention?) or that the school has a Strategic Intelligence Program. There's no cause for alarm if one is not hysterically anti-Christian, as the authors of this piece apparently are.

I do, however, find the hypocrisy appalling when the authors refer to the supposedly analogous Muslim institution whose “primary goal … is to develop the future leaders of the Islamic world based on what some believe to be extremist views.” They can't be serious.

Looks like Voice of Freedom does not know what religion played a huge role in founding this nation. Truly sad that they do not understand where those freedoms, we were given in our Constitution, come from. How do they expect to be the voice of freedom and defend it with out that knowledge?
