Gordon College is given one year by its regional accreditation agency to review its stance which includes homosexual sexual acts among forbidden sexual practices. I expect to see more of this.
One wonders if discriminating against pre-marital sex is also at odds with the accreditation agencies anti-discrimination policy. One also wonders if discrimination against conservatives and religion is against the policy. One wonders. At some point, Christians--and thinking people more generally--will wise up to the fact that accreditation agencies have long outlived any usefulness they once had. Scrap 'em. If you want to know what sort of education a university is offering, see for yourself.
In other news, the city of Houston has issued subpoenas demanding a group of pastors turn over any sermons dealing with homosexuality, gender identity or Annise Parker, the city’s first openly lesbian mayor. And those ministers who fail to comply could be held in contempt of court.
It cannot be repeated enough: "It is not enough to obey Big Brother. You must love him." You must think what he thinks. You must believe what he believes. You must do the will of Big Brother.

Unlike my ancient predecessor, this Tullius hasn't had his hands chopped off. With hands attached I offer my thoughts on philosophy, religion, politics, and whatever else I find worth mentioning. I'm conservative religiously and politically (with libertarian leanings). I value reason and freedom but also traditions and "Oldthink." I relish being on the wrong side of history when history is wrong--part of a philosopher's job is to be unpopular. (Views given here may not represent my employers')
