I was 18 and foolish - like many young men. Also, consider the time. Internet wasn't around. Information about BJU wasn't readily available (in fact, they're still very secretive). Yes, I knew it was a christian college - I just didn't know the extreme extent of their fanaticism.
What the hell, I'll just ask: what did you think about their interracial dating policy that was still around when you were there? [Yes, it appears that it took this long to get to their policies towards race relations.] Of course, it's not like they allowed people to do anything on said dates.
lol .. a fair question. honestly the interracial dating policy didn't really effect any of us white people. I think out of the 6000 students, there were 3 maybe 4 black students (not an exaggeration). Shortly after I got kicked out, one of the senators of SC was quoted as saying that BJU is a blistering boil on the face of South Carolina and a Bastian of racism masquerading as righteousness.
I've heard that even though there's no longer any written rule about interracial dating, that the school still takes many steps to make that activity very difficult. Thanx jesus!
