Ernie, I am sorry that the website so misled you about Hope (and Hope is only one of many similar schools). Schools like this promote values and diversity. Christian values, yes, but not in a fundamentalist context.

Does anybody even offer courses on sexual integrity, budgeting, abuse of power, or any of the other issues that regularly destroy lives, families, and careers? Why couldn't a new college / university seek to do exactly that? Why indeed? That is actually my point. Nobody actually seems to want to be accountable for cultivating true virtue. Hope only promises jobs. Christians focus on indoctrinating fundamentalism and excluding a fixed set of sins. Buddhism can’t prevent its own sex scandals. If you want a partial counter-example, the best I can think of is the military academies. They are at least self-conscious about training people in discipline, leadership and teamwork — and getting better at it over time. What would a school like look that was as single-mindedly focused on Training Culture Warriors? What would it have to subtract, not just add? You’d need more than relevant classes and high production values. Or even a rigid ideology. I have a theory, but first I want to see if we agree that’s the question worth asking. E And I'd add still other essentials that are regularly overlooked in the curricula. For example "Psychology of Personal Relationships," "The Objective Study of Religion," and "Human Growth -what to expect at age 35, 50, and 70." Also: "Looking Ahead: The Job Market in 2025, 2040, and 2055." -- -- Centroids: The Center of the Radical Centrist Community <[email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> > Google Group: http://groups.google.com/group/RadicalCentrism Radical Centrism website and blog: http://RadicalCentrism.org --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Centroids: The Center of the Radical Centrist Community" group.
