The case against just blowing up the entire university system in America and starting over from scratch grows weaker by the day. Campuses are cesspools of depravity and debauchery, a danger exceeded only by the stunting propaganda espoused in lecture halls and the mindless buffoonery of the pseudo-sophisticated administrative overlords. Thanks to a broken and absurd college loan program that plunders the pocketbooks of unsuspecting youth, these grossly overpaid administrators and professors perpetuate one of the most tragic scams in the history of America. And what do they give us in return for our continued fealty to their con? This kind of stupidity:
In case you’re not following, in their brilliance, the suits at the University of Iowa have decided that a Christian club can’t require their group leadership to be Christian. If an atheist wants to hold the position of President of the Christian Club in order to make a mockery of the group, or to undermine their charter, that must be allowed. Requiring Christians head the Christian club is “discriminatory” against non-Christians. This is stupidity on stilts. It probably doesn’t even dawn on the administration that they expect their student body to hold to certain academic and behavioral standards themselves. And if they don’t, they are removed from the Hawkeye family. That seems a bit discriminatory against students who aren’t as bright, motivated, or well-mannered, does it not? Now, before you pass this off as just another example of academia’s notorious anti-Christian bias, recognize it’s more than that in this case. This isn’t just Christian kids having their freedom of association infringed, it’s everyone on campus. Along with Christian clubs, atheist clubs can’t require their leaders be atheists, Sikh clubs can’t require their leaders to be members of their faith, ditto that for Muslims, Hindus, Buddhists and every other faith in between. Nicole Russell observes,
Of course it needs to. But it won’t. Because this social justice warriorism is the religion of academia. Come to think of it, perhaps it’s time we force these campus administrators to play by their own rules. No more discriminating against conservative, Christian, and otherwise sane people when they seek a position in university administration. That’s a type of forced diversity that might actually solve some problems. |
