Instead of applauding them for changing, she makes fun of them. Why??? Perhaps because she doesn't like Christians, although she couldn't get away with saying that. Is she a Journalist or a comedian? Another issue...she commented about the number of scholarships for minorities compared with the size of the student body. What she failed to tell her audience is that the only other scholarships Bob Jones offers students go to international ministerial students from poor countries. Period.

She makes a big deal about BJU not allowing blacks to enroll until 1970, but fails to mention that most southern colleges did the same up until the late '50s and '60s. Where's the outrage for those schools, hmmm?

@CyFiStudios um no we cant !!! I loved watching Bob Jones lie on Larry King about the racial issue... Bob Jones had good intentions with the old man,,, but the third is an arrogant prick who needs an ass kicking and his son stephen is as homosexual as a transvestite in New Orleans and needs to come out fo the closet...

Is Bob Jones going to refund the money of all those poor kids that they kicked out because they were dating an asian or african american? yeah didnt think so... personally no a bi racial kid that went to that school and had to choose at the beginning of the year which race he was going to date? he chose poorly and ended up dating a white girl and was thus kicked out... hate that place and the lives it has ruined.

NA she just does not like hateful ignorant ones.

[CyFiStudios]

Making fun of people that are trying to do what's right?? This newscaster is irritating. I think you all can agree with me.

@IUFTR when all homophobes like you die that will be a glorious day.

[IUFTR]

When all telecasters go straight will be a glorious day!

I've heard that Bob Jones university didn't allow interracial dating. Wow... I didn't know Bob Jones University allowed dating at all? ... Well, at least not without the two parties being separated by a veil. :P

[znuto]

this doesnt make it right, but a LOT of universities didnt allow minorities back in the 50s, 60s and 70s. They were following the incorrect social priorities of the day

Back in the middle ages, the Pope was acting more like a ganster that a religious leader. The catholic church became very powerful and somewhat corrupt. So I understand why the people of northern europe wanted to break away and do their own form of chirstianity. But over time theirs got corrupt too, especially in the America's, christianity got twisted into a wierd racist cult.They put their racism into their religion. Especially in the south. It's very wierd !
