Good article on the controversy at Patrick Henry College, whose genial Christian fascism under the guise of academic freedom brings back old memories of my own alma mater.
Salient quote: "We're told this is an open dialogue, but if you engage in open dialogue, you're in trouble. It's infuriating because you're an academic and want to engage in ideas."
