Patrick Henry "College"
Offline I recently discovered the apalling new "college," Patrick Henry College, about an hour outside DC. I first heard of it through this BBC documentary:

I was absolutely disgusted at what they were trying to pass off as education. They do nothing but make a completely mockery of education. It is quite terrible, really. Also laughable. They actually compare themselves to Harvard and Yale. The saddest thing is, the students seem to smart...but they've been so deluded all their life that their talents will go to waste, and actually work against the common good. It really is sad.
Oh, and the Patrick Henry website:

I have edited my post for inaccuracies. Is this the college that was founded by Billy Graham and has one of the highest ranking law schools in the US?

Wow, they don't even have national accreditation. I didn't realize that. They have their local state accreditation and one from some Christian College accreditation group.
I dunno how any college can teach logic & rhetoric (as they claim to) and hope that their students will remain Christian converts. All the data clearly shows the more education you have, the less likely you are to be religious.

I believe you are thinking of Liberty University (though I'm not sure). The founder/president of PH"C" is in the documentary, and I think his name is Jerry something-or-other.
No, the "college" you refer to does not have a top ranking law school. There are fifty in tier one, and this is not one of them.

You all should check out Bob Jones University. A year(ish) ago their guidance staff website was floating around after someone noticed it and realized what a joke it was. The word sheltered doesn't even begin to scratch the surface.
