Dial down the drama. Smile at the art project, allow the students to finish playing with 3,700 condoms, and then when they're done, remove them. Free speech for everyone all around. Soon enough the libs will run out of time, tolerance, or money for condoms. Jeffery
I checked the Truth4All site on facebook, and it is very much a moderated site that is interested in supporting the homosexual community. I, on the other hand, wanted to see what was up with the family oriented pro-marriage site that was flagged as hatred. I subscribe to Conjugality and Mercator.net which are good information sites for supporters of traditional marriage, etc. Always looking for good information.

I agree with Chavez that the liberal arts have declined in popularity, but I'd add that this is because in general, college students are not stupid. The liberal arts, invaded by Rousseauian post modernists from the 60's forward have re-defined the liberal arts so completely that they are now in large part a shell game or a con. Most (but not all) students see through that very clearly. And that is not to say that the liberal arts have to be a con, just that today's cutting edge of liberal arts and humanities scholarship has lost its way to a significant degree. The humanities used to be about a free-ranging search for answers to the great questions. Today, as Chavez notes, they are about finding victims in order to indict bullies

While I agree that post-secondary education has gone down a troubled path after having rejected traditional western judeo-christian worldview in favor of a perverse post-modernism, not everything is a wasteland. Motivated students can still get a first-rate education by being selective and picky. that student, however is increasingly rare. And the value of a college degree is that at least in one sense, it demonstrates that its possessor is capable of navigating successfully through an arbitrary and many-layered bureacracy, a sign of intellectual maturity and the ability to postpone gratification. And an STD. . . .

ConcealedCarry: Critical thinking is directly addressed with a course in prepositional and categorical logic, something our school is thinking of requiring instead of simply offering. Many courses in the sciences, by focusing on the process of scientific method, are engaging in critical thinking training through practice. Not sure what you mean when you write: "critical thiking is not something that can be taught."

See, and I thought all christians "have fallen short of the glory of god" and have sinful appetites. The difference is not in the existence of our sinful appetites, the difference is in our willingness to feed them. I don't see a christian acknowledging a sinful appetite as somehow less than a christian. But to practice and assert homosexuality as natural without repentance IS an intentional sin discouraged by christianity.

Homosexuals are not pedophiles. Homosexuals do show a greater rate of pedophilia than heterosexuals, but data does not support your claim. The biggest issue I have with this question is that our dialogue is dishonest on both sides.

This one straddles the fence interestingly. But the question is not whether there should or should not be homosexuality, the question is what the appropriate societal response is to it. Should it be tolerated, and if possible treated, or should it be celebrated, protected, and advantaged?
