Training up EXTREME RightWing Robots at Patrick Henry College

Scary documentary (in whole) from 2006 that follows a couple of evangelical homeschooled kids entering Patrick Henry College, the evangelical college traiing camp for homeschooled kids. WARNING - must have low gag reflex! (Commercials intact so be patient especially at beginning.)

one of the MANY reasons why we MUST have a Democratic administration. These kids from a school that teaches everything from the bible's perception (incluing creationism) are working in the present administration by the droves. Part of the movement to recreate America in THEIR image.

1. Right-Wing Elite Universities (Oxymoron)

One of the many problems with the Bush Justice Department was that high level people were recruited from Bob Jones University http://www.bju.edu/

Bob Jones has virtually no academic standards for admission and is not accredited by ANY non-religious organization.

This is a real problem.

2. Agreed.

And which is why, no one should be approved for employment in the federal government whose so-called "educational qualifications" are documented as having been acquired from non-accredited schools.

The US has always done this in every other respect. Particularly with foreign schools that do not meet accreditation standards. Without them, the degree is superfluous.

4. I didn't know there actually was a Patrick Henry College

Patrick Henry University is the name of the elite school in Atlas Shrugged. Interesting contrast between the Christian right and the Cult of Ayn Rand.

5. If this scares you, as it does me, don't read this book.
