Racism, sexism and classism within the Academy are not often openly discussed...institutions want to protect their reputations.

It is quite stunning that Princeton Seminary had to place a statement on their website recently CONDEMNING the conduct of its students who created and distributed a "racist and malicious" newsletter on campus to demean and ridicule a new black scholar.

The students were NOT EXPELLED however to clearly Princeton Seminary does have a ZERO-TOLERANCE policy on racism.

These are students who are in training to be ministers, priests and theologians! Imagine!

Just one more reason to HOME SCHOOL! The liberals won't be happy until they have totally infiltrated pre-school through college! Watch out, first grade Johnny - don't hold Sally's hand or you will be branded a sexual predator for life!
