Bob Jones University

Matthew August 28th, 2007

If you haven't been keeping up with "˜The Jones', BJU is an uber-conservative private college in Greenville, SC, established in 1927. Many unfounded rumors surround the school, but just the basic, undisputed facts are themselves laughable enough.

Exhibit A: BJU refused to enroll blacks until 1971 and until 2000 had rules forbidding interracial dating. Yikes. Talk about putting the "mental" in "fundamentalist."

The school has gradually been pulling its collective head from its collective rear (unofficial motto: "ladies not required to wear hats to church services since 1990!"), but I'm not sure their latest radio ad is going to help matters any.
