Colleges With The Most Students In Fraternities: US News

[DubaiSis]

I don't respect their right to make a bunch of Westboro Baptist Church leaders, and I think it is worth researching to make sure no federal funding, including loans and grants of any kind go to anybody who would attend a school that discriminates based on religious fervor. Yes, they have the right to do it, but if they are getting ANY money from me, I want it stopped, and right now. I would not be concerned about this with single sex institutions or the HBCUs because their goals are different, and IMHO, valid. But unfortunately, if it was all or nothing, I'd have to go with nothing. The all-women and HBCU schools can find the funding somewhere, just as the deeply conservative Christian schools can.

Of course the students going there get federal loans and grants.

But I want to reiterate what I said upthread: NOT all evangelical Christian institutions discriminate in hiring. I had a bad experience with one, certainly, but the other I spoke with offered me an in-person interview after I told them I was Jewish.

To see whether you are a "good Jew" or a "bad Jew." Joking. You got to the second stage of interviews. That's kickass.

As noted above, can we please stop confusing the extremists as having normal behavior for a sub-set of people?

Also, I feel that a student should have a choice in their education without being punished via less funding for choosing a spesific type of accredited university.
