Last month, you dropped your college freshman daughter off at school. Chances are, as you toted boxes up the dorm stairs, you noticed bulletin boards "celebrating" diversity and a poster announcing a big diversity bash during "Welcome Week."

This was exactly what happened to me in late August. And I dropped my daughter off at the oldest Catholic university in the U.S.

During the Sunday morning Mass, prayer was requested for the courage to pass comprehensive immigration reform. It was the first time I felt like standing up and booing at a Mass.

Oh, and the summer reading was a book about fundamentalist Islam.

Those Jesuits certainly know how to run a school.

A reasonable topic to read at a Catholic university ... if it was by Pope Urban II.

Why don't you? They certainly are not doing God's business.

I went to a Methodist church last year (first time in years; last time ever) and the prayer was to “forgive us for making machines that make war on peoples and destroy the environment”.

I said something under my breath and the people next to me looked at me. I was embarrassed and asked their forgiveness after service (after all I went to their church) but during the sermon the pastor said something about how he was left of center and everyone in the congregation knew it. And I did feel like taking him on.

I know exactly how you felt.

I hate to say it, but sending your daughter to a Jesuit school is a terrible mistake and a waste of money. Unless she's unusually strong, you may lose her--and you'll be paying them tens of thousands of dollars to brainwash her.

And I say this as the product of 8 years of Jesuit re-education.
