[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Conservative evangelicals are ruining the schools. Georgetown seems to have found the sweet spot. [/quote]

?? Mine looked at Georgetown and Notre Dame, far preferred Notre Dame and is thriving there. [/quote]

You’re not Catholic, obviously.  “Evangelicals” is a Protestant thing.

The biggest complaint by conservative ND alums is that the school has become too liberal and is betraying Catholic values.   [/quote]

What do you call religious extremists who are trying to force their religious beliefs on you?

“Evangelical” sounds appropriate. [/quote]

You are angry at a handful of politicians and judges who happen to be Catholic (or used to be in the case of Gorsuch and Barrett -- her organization is primarily Protestant), conveniently ignoring the fact that many Catholic politicians and judges, including two on the Supreme Court and the President, hold the same political view that you do. You are incorrectly painting an entire religion and any school associated with that religion, with a single political brush. That is bigotry. [/quote]

We are discussing ND. The SCOTUS justice from ND is a religious extremist.

So what? She is one person and not even remotely representative of everyone at the school. You can't be that ignorant? And lots of ND law professors wrote a letter not supporting her. You will find differences of opinion at ND and other colleges. If you write off an entire school because of the voice of one or even a handful of its people, you will be writing off every decent school, and giving up on the opportunity to hear all kinds of opinions, which only makes you smarter and better able to hone your own.[/quote]

Not to mention that Kavanaugh, Thomas and Alito all went to Yale, yet no one is painting the entirety of Yale University with their brush.

Bigotry plain and simple. [/quote]

True, plus they also attack their high schools if they are Catholic, but the place where they actually developed and honed their legal skills and philosophies gets a pass because it's an orthodox Puritan Ivy. By the way, re: Yale: "Today, of the 65% of the new students who returned their religious information cards back to the Yale Chaplain's Office, an average of 29% self-identified as being Catholic, making Catholicism the single largest religious denomination on Yale's campus." Harvard is 22% Catholic, which reflects the percentage in US population, if you are interested.
