Noticed in a sidebar illustration: Sarah Posner’s full story at Religion Dispatches on curricular intent and academic freedom at the Liberty University School of Law‘s “Foundations of Law” course is well worth a read, but our specific attention was drawn by the content of one of the course’s actual test questions from 2008 – one that, it turns out, wasn’t merely hypothetical.

The Episcopal Café seeks to be an independent voice, reporting and reflecting on the Episcopal Church and the Anglican tradition. The Café is not a platform of advocacy, but it does aim to tell the story of the church from the perspective of Progressive Christianity. Our collective sympathy, as the Café, lies with the project of widening the circle of inclusion within the church and empowering all the baptized for the role to which they have been called as followers of Christ.
The opinions expressed at the Café are those of individual contributors, and, unless otherwise noted, should not be interpreted as official statements of a parish, diocese or other organization. The art and articles that appear here remain the property of their creators.

The way the question is presented doesn’t just suggest the sort of answer that’s expected, it bludgeons the reader with all the prejudice and judgment possible embedded in the question. I imagine any student who attempted to give even a moderate answer to this question would be failed on it.
Gobsmacked.
The stipulation of “facts” according to Liberty (?) University appears to have NO connection to the Real World.
