Before I write about it I want to bring this up. BJU does not allow jazz, country, rock or even contemporary Christian music[1], isn't it interesting that they allow guns (albeit in a limited fashion)
"All weapons must be turned in for storage. Trigger locks are required for pistols. Fireworks are not permitted on campus."
Now, I'm not a gun-control advocate, but can't a gun hurt you more spiritually (not to mention physically) then Louis Armstrong or Johnny Cash? DLerner 21:17, 4 March 2008 (EST)
Accreditation
I'm new here and just wanted to know.... Would it be appropriate to specify that the college is accredited by the Transnational Association of Christian Colleges and Schools, Accreditation Commission? DrCB 23:18, 16 March 2008 (EDT)
Racism
Andy, just because the Democrats ALSO supported slavery, racism and segregation of African-Americans, does not mean that you should delete facts from this article. BJU supported segregation long after the Democratic party had given it up, (in fact it wasn't until around 2000 BJU lifted their ban on interracial dating, these are facts.)
If you feel that the Page on the Democratic party should mention the history of their attitude toward African-Americans, by all means add it. Removing valid and referenced information from this page simply because it makes a conservative institution look bad is ridiculous. ---user:DLerner--- 20:33, 3 August 2008 (EDT)
