Another religious found university taken over by the radical leftist (i.e.communits). I wonder if the seminary portion is even allow to teach about Christianity and the tenants of its faith, other than to blame it for everything bad in the world?

Butler’s School of Religion, established in 1924, became independent in 1958 and is currently known as the Christian Theological Seminary.[8]

Butler University was founded by members of the Disciples of Christ church, though it was never controlled by the church.[8] The university charter called for “a non-sectarian institution free from the taint of slavery, offering instruction in every branch of liberal and professional education.”[8] The university was the first in Indiana and the third in the U.S. to admit both men and women. Butler was the first university in the United States to endow a chair designated specifically for a woman, the Demia Butler Chair (endowed in 1869). Catharine Merrill, the first person to hold the chair, became the second woman named to be a professor in an American university.[8]
