This is a strange article. I can't tell if it's serious, sorta serious, or 100% made up. Pink mowse.pngGodotThe Peyote God awaits 20:09, 3 October 2011 (UTC)

This is pretty much 100% accurate. — Unsigned, by: 75.127.224.130 / talk / contribs
These are actual schools--Rationalzombie94 (talk) 21:58, 15 October 2015 (UTC)

I thought this was referring to elementary middle and high schools as opposed to "colleges" (albeit not legitimate colleges.)— Unsigned, by: 65.24.131.255 / talk / contribs

Wheaton[edit]

@TheUmbilicalCordGuy Why was my edit reverted? It's true that none of Wheaton's faculty are not young Earth and, rather, believe in theistic evolution -- see the school's Wikipedia article, or just do a Google search on the topic. This seems to be the implied reason for listing it in the first place.

@Oxyaena I am not anyone's sock. This is the only account I've used on RW, though I did edit as an IP a few times before creating an account. By the way, whose sock did you think I am?Sovereigntist (talk) 01:54, 21 April 2019 (UTC)

Forget it, it was an error on my part. Oxyaena Harass 02:11, 21 April 2019 (UTC)

Berea College[edit]

Not sure that Berea CollegeWikipedia really belongs on the list. They do have a fair academic reputation (then again, so does Wheaton); on the foundation they were one of the few integrated higher education schools in the USA, rather unique in the border South. They continue to receive fairly high national ranks as a liberal arts schools. AFAICT they aren't any politically weirder than, say, Oberlin. Is there a story here I don't know?

They were founded on religious principles and remain a "Christian college" in the most basic sense, but they're explicitly multicultural and take great pains to distance themselves from other Christian colleges. I think they might be worth noting for their unusual theology, but not as a fundie school, from what I gather about them through basic research. --Zoe Kirk (talk) 04:15, 23 June 2021 (UTC)
