…’ breathing or sobs broke in randomly over others. Until news of my former student’s death, Covid-19 had been an extreme inconvenience. I was frustrated from having to look after my young children while trying to work throughout the spring.

By Chrissy Stroop

…yself have published investigative deep-dives into the challenges of LGBTQ students at evangelical colleges, and have promoted student advocacy for greater inclusion and equality in those spaces, I have never said that Christian colleges should be banned, nor am I aware of any commentators who take that position. Where the issue gets trickier is to what extent, if any, such colleges should have access to state and federal funding, so I don’t see h…

…has many more components with Nazi-era echoes. In May of 1933, the German Student Union, a pro-Nazi student group, invaded the Institute of Sexology, burning the entire library.
