#1 Remedial reading and history for these folks. The first word in Trinity University is Trinity. The second is University.

Yikes!

#2 And then a sophomore seminar on "San Antonio", the man and place name!

#3 Don't like it? Go somewhere else!

Oh yeah, you're a liberal. I guess that means everyone else has to come to you.

#4 Oh, c'mon you guys. You know that if minority Christian students attending school in a Muslim country demanded "In the Year of Our Lord" be included on their diplomas, they'd be accommodated in a heartbeat. Right?

#5 "Qureshi, who is Muslim".......precisely where I stopped reading. Next please.

#6 Since they want the reference to Our Lord removed from their diplomas, they won't object when their names are not found in the Lord's Book of Life.

"And if any one's name was not found recorded in the Book of Life he was thrown into the Lake of fire." (Revelation 20:15)

#7 This created some "heavy" discussion on one San Antonio radio station yesterday -- at least as I listened on the way home -- Trinity grads were calling in -- not in favor...

#8 "Peacefull Jihad" against a school established by Christians.

#9 Are liberal Presbyterians still embracing the whole "Christianity" thing?

Their general assembly has passed resolution for "carbon neutrality" (So I guess they won't be joining in the war against carbon anytime soon).

To divest from Israel and the supporting "right of Palestinian return", with no mention of terrorism.

Full support for Obamacare.

Support aborted fetal tissue research.

Called for members to not have guns in their homes.

#10 Though Trinity has historically enrolled mostly Anglo Christians, the university has taken pains to increase diversity in recent years. Since 1999, the share of international students has increased from 1 percent to 9 percent.

I think I've found the problem...

#11 The answer here is simple, revoke their degrees and kick them out of school. They knowingly went to a Christian college, they don't get to change it.

#12 The straw that broke this ex Presbys faith was the contnued worship of one Frank Broyles who sits in a mansion in Louisville and writes editorials for the P magazine. His influence is unabated even after being removed as moderator by a more conservative general assembly.

#13 Getting a degree from a Christian college, named specifically for one of the central doctrines of the faith isn't offensive, but seeing "Our Lord" displayed on the diploma from the same Christian college is?

#14 You hit the nail on the head Mullah.

#15 This is what happens when faux indignation is paid attention to. As others have said the best out come here would be for the school to kick these ingrates out and not reimburse their tuition. Ha!

#17 Scripture says that in the last days "The Lord" will be standing at the door of churches (and I suppose Christian schools) knocking on the door, seeking to be let in. Just one more such place trying to give "The Lord" the boot.

#18 Some profs @ Boston College called for crosses to be removed from the classrooms, and the Jesuits told them to pound sand.

BC was built because Harvard didn't admit Catholics.

If the heathens don't like it they can build their own schools.
