5. If I hadn't gone to a Christian liberal arts college, I'd still be...
...a Republican. I was expecting a Christian college to be the same as my fundy high school. It wasn't. :) Whoops. :)

8. I went to a Christian Liberal Arts College in Ohio
(methodist). Somehow, it never managed to convert me to a republican. It helped that my father was chairman of the philosophy and religion department and was one of the few Liberals on campus. He is also an ordained minister.

9. No, they shouldn't call themselves an oxymoron:
'conservative arts' indeed! ;-)

Besides, isn't the word 'arts' also a bit doubtful. How about a 'crafty conservative college'?

John Tesh is not Art. Leroy Nieman is not Art. Mallard Fillmore is not Art.

13. A true "liberal arts" education is rare these days
Most schools have regressed to high-level trade schools.
