What do you think about Bob Jones University prohibiting interracial marriage?
Though I believe they were nitwitted boneheads for establishing such a regulation in the first place, they have since eliminated that one. From CNN on March 4, 2000: WASHINGTON (CNN) — The president of Bob Jones University on Friday said his school has ended its ban on interracial dating in wake of the controversy stirred by George W. Bush’s visit to the fundamentalist Christian school. “We don’t have to have that rule. In fact, as of today, we have dropped the rule,” Bob Jones III told CNN’s “Larry King Live.” He said he met with administrators earlier in the day and decided to end the policy, because “I don’t want to hurt the church of Jesus Christ.” Besides, Jones said, the policy “is meaningless to us.” “Our concern for the school’s broader usefulness is greater to us than a rule we never talk about,” he said. At another point, Jones said, “We can’t back it up with a verse in the Bible.” And at BJU’s website you can find this: http://www.bju.edu/welcome/who-we-are/race-statement.p
