taxpayer support when they serve the secular public interest
the education system is just catching up
and and that's the introduction to a long hard core missus during the uh...
the bush administration and that is in line with the uh... the face
faith-based initiative that president bush was uh...
enacting during his administration
and uh... while the government has a long history of inappropriately made we
charge the state it doesn't mean that it's right
uh... for example the united states also has a long history was slavery
prospective students of these religious institutions are eligible to complete
your free application of
for federal student aid
and i use the funds disbursed
to them uh... towards clearly sectarian degrees that serve no secular public
interest
for example of
the alaska bible college is a regionally accredited college
and as such is eligible to receive federal funding
the degree programs they offer our
bachelor of arts degree biblical studies
uh... in christian ministries
aaa bible certificate which is that when your program

i bet that lab science class is a winner right near and you also have to take
four minutes uh... four semesters of christian ministry training
the studio book for the so-called colleges freely available on the
internet
uh... here's an excerpt
from the the standards for *** expression section in there uh...
student handbook
sex is one of god's good gifts that he intends for us to enjoy fully within the
protective bales of marriage
*** intercourse and other forms of intensely interpersonal *** activity
are reserved for the intimate relationship of a husband and wife
the alaskan bible college encourages students to maintain wholesome
relationships with members of the opposite sex
our society tends to emphasize the physical aspect of relationships with
the opposite sex
and minimize interpersonal aspects
interpersonal relationships are best cultivate it without the distractions
that come with physical intimacy
uh... this is recognized uh... ed
this is a recognize educational institution in the united states that
receives federal funding
uh... was allowed to discriminate on the basis of religion in *** ori tation
more insulting his the excerpt from the uh...
alaska bible college website
uh... scholarships and grants section and you can navigator yourself if you
like
it says quote
alaska bible college professor patron the pell grant program
i'd be based program funded by the u_s_ department of education
bloody bloody well into the uh...
uh... to the point
here is uh... here's what it says it says
a grant is quote
free money
invested it does not pay it back to the school work or the government
the financial aid office can answer questions about the pell grant
perhaps their dumbing down the wording of this paragraph for their prospective
students
but to correct the institution the telegram is not quote
free money
it is money the u_s_ federal government provides for students who need it to pay
for college
uh... the u_s_ federal government is a uh... is secular in nature and in this
case
is obviously providing funds to a sectarian institutions let's take uh...
a look at another example
uh... the central bible college of missouri
can also accept pell grant funds
and uh...
it is an accredited institution
uh... here's a passage from
their student handbook which is also freely available online
practices which are known to be morally wrong by biblical teaching are not
acceptable for members of the college community
included or specific acts such as drug convinced stealing the use of slanderous
or per family which
and our force of dishonesty including cheating
ecole practices
and *** sins such as premarital sex
adultery
and homosexual behavior
now this is in the same
hymn book that lists their non-discrimination policy
and that reads as such
central bible college does not discriminate on the basis of race color
national origin
sex
religion
veteran status
marital status
pregnancy
age for disability in the eds occasional programs
now won't wait a minute i thought that
premarital sex was not covered
does this mean that you will or
will not be kicked out if you have a child out of wedlock
at the point that i feel
other room covered
ridiculous uh... requirements of students at the school
uh... westech inc help
take a look at car cup more quotes in there handbook
uh... quote
student should not stand here or talks during open window of the opposite sex
uh... boy undergoes with that only two
and uh... here's another one
uh... and he didn't seem or participation
in social settings such as clubs
bars lounges and raves or sexually explicit dancin' in any setting is
considered eight violation of the uh...
central baptist colleges us behavioral standards and are not permitted
so you can't dance of the school basically
uh... let's take a look at it one more example of a sectarian secondary school
that is siphoning federal funding
uh... the exam
the example here is the uh... the bat
baptist bible college of pennsylvania
uh... this is also in their student handbook which is freely available
online
dismissal can be expected for the following
and uh... you know there's a couple good things in here that you expect them to
this issue for a bit but here's a
*** misconduct including but not limited to
*** relations outside of marriage homosexual ax and that *** as
assaults
and uh...
well here's a here's another one having an abortion or assisting in the
arrangement for war
so if you go to uh...
the uh...
baptist bible college of pennsylvania if you have an abortion they're gonna kick
you out of school
uh... even if you there are no go
on the pell grant
here some remain rules that that you can also find their student handbook
swimwear is only appropriate at the swimming pool
students are to where appropriate shorts insurer going to him from the pool
women are required to wear one-piece swimsuits that are not cut high on the
legs or low in the front or back
men are not to wear spandex suits or speeders
uh... so if you're a woman you know
here are a lot of your your nice one-piece suits uh... they are going to
be required to wear it that's cool if you were to peace you're going to get
disciplined
here's another quote
that's also when there have both
men are encouraged to wear a tie and or sport coat the church services
uh... that's because jesus for sport coat right
here's a little history on one of the so-called colleges are able to sidestep
the church-state separation issue
eyes to the fact that uh... they're receiving
federal funding they must adhere to the uh... the civil rights act of nineteen
sixty four
title six of the civil rights act of thirteen sixty four protects people from
discrimination based on race
national origin ah... in programs or activities
that receive federal for of
far deeper financial assistance
uh... the title six states that
no person in the united states show on the grounds of race
color or national origin be excluded from participation in
be denied the benefits of
or be subjected to discrimination under a program or activity
receiving federal
financial assistance
the title six of the uh... civil rights act does not include protections from
for discrimination based on religion or *** orientation
uh... this is world infringement of the rights of atheists or other religious
groups and algae beauty community intersect
religious organizations don't like either group very much and and uh...
this isn't just a religious individuals
they're affected obviously a moslems uh... mormons would be able attend a
evangelical protestants college insurer
uh... unless they here too
uh... teens their uh... their uh... student guidelines
but uh...
where there is uh... parcel relying on this cloud and in twenty ten
senator
uh... the former senator arlen specter attempted to amend title six
by pretended he dint discrimination on the ground of religion
and educational programs and activities
unfortunately that bill died in committee
uh... the committee and
in question was the uh... the senate committee on health education labor
tensions
the bill was also introduced the very next day
it was sponsored by three democrats uh... representative brad sherman
of california
uh... representative elliott angle of new york
and representative gary peters of michigan
this bill also died in committee a this committee was the house committee on the
judiciary
why does this bill never make it past committee
is because politicians do not want to spend the political capital necessary to
pass a bill like this
um... with his controversial and they they believe the state
if they try to pass this bill if along the the work here they'll be kicked out
office the next election
thompson more history on the subject
uh... the grip tracks on which stands for the trans national association of
krishna colleges and schools
became and officially recognized accreditation agency in nineteen ninety
one
uh... when it was approved by the uh...
then u_s_ uh...
education secretary lamar alexander
uh... this is under the first bush out of the bush senior administration
attracts
requires all accredited schools to have a statement of faith that affirms the
the quote
the in there and see in the stores
history city of the bible and
the defined work of
not evolutionary creation including persons in gaza image
so uh...
there are young recreation this uh... and their officially recognized by the
department of education
while being a member of tracks does not automatically mean that the schools are
receiving federal funding
schools are receiving federal funds do not have to follow title six of the
civil rights act of nineteen sixty four
better still recognizes it in a crowded institution
many of these institutions are seeking regional accrediting shinde and ask such
would be able to accept federal funding wa still discriminating on the basis of
religion or *** orientation uh... this
uh... argue is not serving that a secular purpose
what is evident however
non-discrimination policies are not be enforced in schools and receiving
federal funding
well the counter argument would be that most americans are christian
so what's the big deal
taxpayers are christian
the colleges i have just pointed out
or evangelical protestant schools
but do not agree with the modern tenants of catholicism
the catholic church has recently come out in favor of other evolution
and uh...
there are famous priests that they have stated that
the bible does not teach science uh... modern science came about
in the nineteenth-century onwards
and uh...
and the bible is obviously a four thousand and two thousand years old for
the hold of the new testament
according to the latest p religion pull of which you can find available on the
internet uh... only fifty what percent of americans are protestant christians
uh... over the next few years i predict that this uh... number will fall below
fifty percent and the the protestants of this nation will will fall into uh...
a minority religion category for the first time
like every other religion
even most protestants in this country would not agree with
uh... to the codes of conduct
of these organizations
you know if you're a liberal christian please
for phil three read three d uh... the
becomes a product for students at the schools and ask yourself they should be
receiving federal funding
uh... clearly institutions that offer degrees little or no real world value
uh... and that discriminate on the basis of religion or *** orientation
should not be receiving federal funding
and since the legislators that we vote in into office are afraid to
stop providing the schools with tax dollars
perhaps a judiciary should take this case in the form of a lawsuit
at the moment the issues we read about in the paper evolve primary schools
uh... we should be orderly defended
uh... such as the case of jessica helpless to um... we should not forget
that public funds
also be in
funded to these bigoted organizations that claim to have uh... some sort of
monopoly on morality
but to be clear
i'm not arguing that these institutions should be shut down
i want to protect the separation of church and state
if people want to go to these clara colleges and at the collector mickey
mouse degrees
habitat loss
uh... to uh... do with your own money
again a scholarship from religious organization if you're in need that
don't come asking the federal government for a pell grant
closer to home
uh... where i live the pensacola christian college of florida is
currently seeking regional accreditation
uh... alfredo achieve this goal
i'd like to take a look at their arm
at their propaganda video
that's post on the website
they'll be listed in the description
uh... or directly linked to it
uh... if you're christian
uh... before you jump to accusing me of being eighty christian
all go ahead and and that i a m
but but take a moment and watch the video on the pcc website and
i'd like you to replace the word bible
uh... with karana
uh... i'd like you to replace the words jesus our lord with mohammed
uh... replace the word christian with muslim uh... would you want your tax
dollars funding
type of organization
at this time an islamic college could operate under sharia law and receive tax
dollars just the same as the organization's i've listed
think about it
