HERE ARE two stories about religion, free speech and higher education in the United Kingdom. Both make troubling news for anyone who thinks that students should be exposed to a broad range of ideas, including some they won’t agree with. One concerns a global celebrity, the other a man who is relatively little known outside his own specialist world.
...It is deeply unfortunate that the authorities at the Divinity school in Cambridge decided that kowtowing to an ill-informed, ignorant and ideologically-addled mob trumped participating in an extensive online experiment in mass Christian and psychological education.
As it is, the Cambridge Divinity Faculty has always encompassed a wide range of metaphysical beliefs, from Christian to Muslim to agnostic. At Queen’s University Belfast, by contrast, the teaching of theology to undergraduates has at least until recently been delegated to one Christian denomination. The Union Theological College, a Presbyterian-run institution, has been responsible for delivering theology classes and hence for deciding who will teach that subject.
Apparently because of concerns about the way Mr Kirkpatrick was being treated, Queen’s University suspended the introduction of new students to the college last December. That could be a step towards the complete severance of connections between the University and the theological outfit.
alllibertynews I read up to the part where you asked me do something.
I did not read the article but if it is coming from JPeterson it probably is correct, he always does a thorough investigation of any subject matter.
It’s all bullshit, and it’s bad for ya. - George Carlin.
Why anyone so intelligent would want to spend any time in traditional academia is beyond us. The 'system' is built to program in people WHAT to think, not teach them HOW to think.
Nah.
Hey look who it is! jordanbpeterson made it on

A Good News, Bad News Week For The Ethanol IndustryLast week the ethanol industry cheered when the EPA proposed a rule that would allow 15% ethanol blends to be sold year-round. But by the end of the week they were complaining as the EPA granted more waivers to refiners seeking exemption from ethanol-blending requirements. For those of us allergic to corn who is going to pay the medical bills? I really don't think I should. Since both ethanol producers and refiners are unhappy, it must be a reasonable solution.

Opinion | The good, the bad and the ugly in the fight over emolumentsOpinion: The good, the bad and the ugly in the fight over emoluments The Emoluments Clause must be respected and Trump must be held accountable for violating it since January 20, 2017. And Fox News and all the other right wing nuts were up and arms about paid speeches? !! It is absolutely mind boggling. Whatever happens with these cases I hope the next fully Democrat Congress will pass stricter ethics rules for all future presidents.
