| Schone's profile is expansive, his taste in clothes, ghastly. |
WELS' ineptly named Martin Luther College is known for taking a lot of money for a poor education, charging it up to federal student loans, and throwing students out for offending their fragile egos. Naturally, when a school knows so little about Lutheran doctrine or higher education, they ignore or praise the worst behavior while punishing those who think independently.
MLC managed to break into the news in Mankato and New Ulm for banning students from having any part in the classic theater work "Inherit the Wind," about the Scopes Monkey Trial, which centered around teaching evolution.
The school tried to deny pressure against students and the student director of the play, but Schone began "counseling" the director once a week.
I know of many instances of students forced out of the school or threatened with expulsion for nothing more than questioning something.
If you want to borrow $80,000 to have your child learn synod-think, by all means make MLC your only choice. But what use is half a degree and a pile of debt, plus a steamed ex-student filling up your rec room with his bed, video games, and Donald McGavran posters?
