    By their nature, all religious schools enforce dogma in some fashion or another.

    It almost seems like you are projecting your own personal preference here rather than look at it from an objective point of view. That is very funny to me given the nature of the conversation.

    OK. I withdraw my call to withdraw Bryan College's accreditation.

    I hardly think that is something unique to just religious schools.

    Do you have any information on how graduates of Bryan do worse than graduates of other schools? Because I'd bet you'd find the truth to be the opposite of what you think.

    Do you know for sure they're taking federal funds or are you just assuming?

    Also, I have never bought the idea that an institution is bound by federal certain federal rules because they accept students who get either federally funded aid or loans. That transaction is between the student and the feds.

    Maybe -- there are obviously a ton of people who will give up their hard-earned money to these churches throughout the South. And there are a lot of companies that practice the same beliefs, so I suppose a person can live in that closed loop for all of his or her life.

    But college is supposed to be about learning. Accepting that Adam and Eve is a factual account of the world's creation is not learning. Hence, not really the point of college.

    There is nothing more dogmatic on this earth than liberalism.
