University professors and religion

Muddle seems disturbed that at least some universities want to know what a prospect thinks due to his prior education, rather than reading his resume, education, and prepared thesis.

This country was developed successfully so far by keeping religion as a contention out of it's daily workings.

If a new professorial candidate is a hard-nosed religious zealot and maybe on top of that is also extremely conservative, maybe he belongs at Notre Dame instead of Harvard!

I don't know why many college professors are more liberal politically than conservative, nor why they are either neutral or think it not important whether to teach religion amongst the course facts.

I really think that we are simply scared to death that such instructors might intermingle religion with teaching such that sometime we may elect a Pope as our President.

As usual, you "darken counsel without knowledge."

I don't mean to counsel you without payment in hand first, but consider this a pro-bono gift from up above.

Ignore Cal, Dollar, Basmati or whoever Sage is.

He/she is pathetic. By replying to anything that has been posted by it, you merely encourage it. (I'm violating on my own self imposed rule here, but I believed your soul was worth it.)

So come on back to where the adults are. . . err, where some of the adults are and leave the children to play in their own sand box by themselves and the neighborhood cats.
