Illinois bible colleges: "We shouldn't have to follow state standards because bible!"

Funny, I didn't realize a big part of practicing the christian religion was just handing out degrees left and right, for no reason.

They argue that they can't "stay competitive" if they can't offer degrees, which right now necessitate a proper curriculum to be given out, but the truth is that they want to stay competitive without having to expend the effort of competing; as seems to be the usual for religious institutions, they want to use the bible as an excuse to do none of the work, but obtain all of the benefits.

They seem to miss the point that schools aren't churches ... again.
