Christian Prof Says Tolerance One-Way Street on Campus
Topics: Political News and commentariesWard Churchill is okay, but those Christian guys - out the door. They can't stay, and none need apply! That seems to be the growing message on America's university campuses, home and domain of the academic liberal left.
While American universities may proclaim diversity as an exalted value, a recent study shows that the only freedom of thought that really exists on campus is "to believe the dominant political ideology. Other ideologies are marginalized." (liberal ideology is dominant on campuses but not in society, hence the Republicans won the last presidential election - and the one before that)
But former University of Colorado professor Phil Mitchell doesn't need a study to validate what he has experienced for over 20 years. He says, "The truth is, universities are the most hostile, narrow-minded and intolerant environment in society." Mitchell is a former history professor at the University of Colorado (CU) and a deeply committed Christian. He was fired from the history department last spring when one of his students objected to having to read Charles Sheldon's In His Steps, a book about liberal Christianity at the turn of the 20th century. Yet the university has no problem with keeping Ward Churchill.
