(January 22, 2015 at 1:32 pm)Esquilax Wrote: So, some bible colleges in Illinois are suing the state, arguing that they should be exempt from the usual accreditation standards because they're a religious institution and any form of regulation violates their right to freedom of religion. 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.
