Patrick Henry College in the WaPo, AGAIN

The homeschooler's haven and pseudo-institution of higher learning, PHC, has made the WaPo again.
The reason centers around a trip from Soulforce Equality Ride's "Social Justice for Gay, Bisexual and Transgender People," a bunch of gay Christian student activists who were apparently so threatening that the a whole damn brigade of the Loudon County Police were called out. I'm sure glad they were keeping those queers off of PHC campus instead of, say, busting drug dealers and pederasts. There's a photo album posted by Barbara (some random PHC-supporter, maybe a PHC kid's mommy) here.

The last time, it was over its firings of "liberal" (i.e. not dominionist enough) professors. This pseudo-school is the epitome of intellectual vapors and moral vacuity. You've gotta love the hysterical tone of the school's press release:
Uninvited, often trespassing illegally, the group imposes itself on to Christian campuses in hopes of engaging students in suggestive discussions about sex. By their own admission, organizers hope to indoctrinate young Christians to notions that God’s Word is supportive of the “gay” lifestyle, or that it remains morally mute on a subject about which the Bible actually has much to say, on behaviors it explicitly labels sin.
And then the sigh of relief in the aftermath:
The group numbered between 30 and approximately 50 protesters throughout the day, except when they broke for lunch shortly after noon. “I’m thrilled that it seems to be over,” said Earl Hall, PHC Vice President for Campus Administration, watching as the last of the protesters crossed over to their awaiting bus.
I'm sure you were, Earl. Gay is viral, and I'm afraid a few of your students may have some unclean thoughts tonight.

Watch the video here. I think sophomore Mr. Jenkins may be the next Ted Haggard -- the lispth of condemnation is just too much. And the little snot saying, "We are not just a bunch of sheltered homeschoolers!" -- a blatant lie, is just too funny.
