ISU: Christians need not apply

Shockingly the most hostile campus to Christians in Iowa recently is not Iowa City but Ames ?!?!?

C'mon ISU, I count on you to balance out the hippies in Iowa City and Grinnell. First Dr. Gonzalez is targeted by a "petition" for daring to be a Christian. As we all know from the Duke Lacrosse story "petitions" are always beyond reproach. I have to say that only in academia would signing a "petition" be viewed as an acceptable reaction, what a bunch of wusses.

Considering this is a school that had not too long ago "In the year of our Lord" inprinted on it's diplomas, It's fair to say the hippies have won another one and have once again proven they have no intention of being educators but indoctrinators.

Of course this could all go away with a University President with a spine, but I might as well be asking for a Leprechaun to appear. Also don't forget ISU's Softball team refusing to stand at a Baylor game during the pre-game prayer. Gotta love that tolerance.

By the way, why doesn't the Register mention that religious studies professor Hector Avalos is an atheist and faculty adviser (aka Chaplain??) to the ISU Atheist and Agnostic Society.
