Christian institution Baylor University has formed an unusual alliance to run a literacy program for children with a social justice organization that wants to strip away gun rights in America.
According to a report by The College Fix, Baylor University in Waco, Texas, has embraced a leftist activist group called the Children’s Defense Fund, which seeks, in part, a drastic restriction on gun rights in America.
Baylor University and the Children’s Defense Fund have teamed up to create a summer literacy program for young children. The report claims that this camp utilizes materials from the left-wing Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC), which has been heavily criticized for its unfair labeling of mainstream political figures such as Ayaan Hirsi Ali as “extremists.”

Just another excuse to kick their faggot a$$ on the football field.
Baylor seems to be adopting the Oberlin College business plan. /#sadness
Not going to happen.
Not very Christian if you are teaming up with left wing hate groups!
Why is Baylor still viewed as a Christian institution? Didn’t their administration undertake a devious but successful effort to maneuver the university out of the control of the Southern Baptist convention?
A simple Regulation could fix this:
All institutions of Education that advocates for the abridging or restricting of any enumerated right found in the US Constitution, Shall be prohibited from receiving Taxpayer Funds , Shall be Decertified as a Qualified Institute of Higher Education.
NO MONEY and Your Degree’s are Worthless!!!
Oh, it’s already happening.

This is disappointing, but not surprising. They also signed an exclusive deal with Nike this year. Nike not only killed the Betsy Ross flag shoe, but their Converse line ran an ad campaign featuring an eleven year old drag queen:
The Truett Seminary is, IMHO, not Biblically sound.
OTOH, the new head coach, Matt Rhule, has cleaned up the football team.
Previously, they had not pre-screened prayers at graduation, and were not aware the speaker was going to do that. The University president issued an apology for it, and said there would be steps taken to ensure that prayers at graduation were not used for political purposes in the future.
I've attended tons of Baylor events, and the prayers are done by guests, usually Baptist pastors. and have always been an appropriate public prayer. This was one guy wanting his "moment."
I’ve known some real heretics which have come from Truett. One Baylor grad “emergent” pastor in my city looks like an Austin freak intentionally, with numerous blasphemous tats and morally anarchist piercings. His theology is equally as shocking.
He made the local news when he was pulled over for a violation and felt he was “treated differently” by the officer, never mind that he looks like a Mexican drug gang member.
The apostasy of Broadway Baptist is no secret. Baylor admin had to know that they were asking a heretic in, especially since Broadway (what a Bunyanian name) was expelled from fellowship with both the Southern Baptist Convention and the less conservative Baptist General Convention of Texas over the homosexual affirmation issue.
Regardless, the audible cheering from many in attendance at his obvious homo-affirming remark indicated the ethos of the school. That response would have been inconceivable less than a generation ago.
He came out steeped in the JEDP theory, books were written far later than claimed, and listed authors weren't really the authors stuff.
Not to get into Biblical interpretations too heavily, but modern "scholarship" rejects the notion that God can or does intervene in the lives of men. Therefore, any miracle described is a folk tale, and any Old Testament book making a prophecy is automatically assigned a date after the occurrence of the event described in the prophecy. That's the teaching at Truett, and I agree with you that it's heretical.
Can't argue with that. A few years ago, I was doing duty when Baylor, very kindly, agreed to host the memorial for the firefighters killed in the West explosion at the Ferrell Center. They also, because they are a private school, were able to ban the Westboro Baptist Church who were coming to protest the event, from getting within quite a few blocks.
Obama was there to speak, and after he finished, about a third of the students in attendance left while the memorial was still going on. The college was exemplary in their handling of the memorial, the students, not so much.
Wasn’t the Children’s Defense Fund intimately involved with Hillary Clinton and the Waco fiasco?
I have met the former president of Baylor, who is now the president of Houston Baptist. Baylor has gone apostate. Sad.
Baylor hired that scumbag, Ken Starr, who looked the other way when the football players were raping co-eds.
Most all higher ed schools, church denomination HQs, corporations, media, government departments and political organizations are now largely led and staffed by university-indoctrinated Gen-Xers.
Pubic school and college teachers have achieved their goal — they swung a couple generations far left.
Now, their prodigy are running things. And they are legion.
Yeah, and the problems went all the way to the board of regents. Not saying Art Briles was blameless, but how can a university that has a LAW SCHOOL not have a Title IX compliance office? They thought they could hang all the Baylor problems on Briles, use him as a scapegoat, and walk away clean.
Starr was kinda like Mueller. The board ran the college, and he was the figure head. Not exonerating him, either. On that one, I'm kanda like Mueller.
If Briles was REALLY the problem at Baylor, why didn't they fire him with cause and cancel his contract? They gave him a $15 million separation package in exchange for a NON-DISCLOSURE AGREEMENT.
Baylor is over as a Texas conservative bastion. Rapists in the athletic department, a preacher from a homo friendly church at the commencement ceremony essentially calling for white men to sit in the back seat in the world. And now they are exploring ways to make homos and trannies more comfortable.
Used to be conservative... now it’s leftist.
