In reply to the discussion: Melania Trump receives university's 'Woman of Distinction' award amid pushback from students [View all]not fooled
(6,720 posts)20. Their website has the phrase
"Baptist affiliated." Google Palm Beach Atlantic University. Apparently Baptists were involved in the founding. That's the extent of my knowledge.
From their website--sounds like another training ground for fake-xtian fascists:
American Free Enterprise
Palm Beach Atlantic University confidently affirms the values and institutions that historically have informed American societyreligious liberty; traditional Judeo-Christian morality; limited, constitutional government; the Rule of Law; personal and political accountability; and capitalismthe system of free enterprise. We believe that America is truly an exceptional nation, which was founded and has flourished under the guiding providential hand of God. We aim to develop in each of our students an appreciation for the unique American achievement in its many dimensionssocial, political, economic, moral, legal, and religious.
Our general education curriculum, required of all students, includes a course entitled Freedom in American Society, which examines the meaning and significance of freedom in the American experience. Students explore such topics as the historical roots of American liberty, with special emphasis on the close link between liberty and Christianity, and the nature of freedom as understood by the chief architects of the American political order. They examine the interdependence between political and economic freedom, in particular, the significance of free-enterprise capitalism for the preservation of liberty. They learn about the structure of American constitutional democracy and the traditional meaning of justice and the Rule of Law.
These studies help students recognize the various threats to individual freedom, religious liberty, and other traditional American rights and values that have emerged over the past several centuries, as well as contemporary challenges to their preservation.
