[U]niversity administrators… deliberately intend to undermine a student’s ability to engage in classical academic thinking and to inculcate in them a serious case of “religious” guilt. Ridgley seeks to show “how one of history’s great institutions—the American university—is undergoing an infiltration by an ‘army of mediocrities’ whose goal is to destroy the university as an institution of knowledge-creation and replace it as an authoritarian organ of ideology and propaganda.”
(Peter Jones – TruthXchange) Many sociologists now speak about the arrival of the post-Christian era in both America and the West in general. Way back in 1976, Newsweek Magazine spoke of “the year of the evangelical.” But church attendance is down in America. Young people abandon any semblance of their childhood faith as soon as they set foot in a university. This is a great concern in our churches. The Wall Street Journal recently published an analysis of national sentiment over the past 25 years on:
Religion: 62% in 1998 vs 39% today.
· Having kids: 59% in 1998 vs 30% today.
· Community involvement: 47% in 1998 vs 27% today.
· Patriotism: 70% in 1998 vs 38% today.[1]
· The number of weddings: 40% lower in 2000 than in 1970
Star Parker, a black Christian intellectual gives similar figures and sees the sign of a “nation committing suicide.”
