“It’s good to go to a college that’s religious, but it doesn’t really matter to me,’’ said John Sadlon, a sophomore. “What matters to me is getting my education.’’

Then why did he go to that college? There are plenty of non-religious schools to choose from.

“You ought to have some professor on your faculty who believes Adam and Eve were the first humans, that they actually existed,’’ Dr. York said. Dr. Crouch and Georgetown’s trustees decided it was time to exercise their escape clause. The college and the convention wanted to avoid the kind of contention becoming common in neighboring states.

Dr. York seems to have wanted just one professor that was a conservative and Crouch wanted to separate at that point? I thought he was for diversity? Oh...oops...diversity means only left-wing views are permissible, and any other views which diverge are unacceptable.

I see our alma mater (matre?) is in the news again. One side of me is glad to see them go and get beyond the pretense. Another side is sad to see them slip further and further away.

Not that it's a surprise. They didn't have anyone on staff who openly believed a literal interpretation of the Scriptures back in the 80s when I was there.

Maybe I should re-think the tag line.
