The academic issues are only mildly of concern. I dont even really care about a worm eating video on the internet. He was trying to share his message how he saw fit. This is America. The real thing I have read here that is weighing on our decision is how people’s basic belief and trust in God is called into question because they have simply voiced their concerns or opinions about their own perception of problems that exist at LC.

To put it in simple, and very visible terms, this would be like my son saying, “wow, I sure wish they would fix that giant buckled piece of concrete on the road on campus” (yall all know the one), and have a fellow student or certain administration personell tell him “well son, you must not believe in God’s plan” or “God will take care of it, don’t you trust in God?” That’s what some of you here sound like. It is simply unreasonable.

And like it or not, there are evidently problems. I have seen the state of the Campus on our visit. If anyone here doesnt think there is a difference between LC and other similar schools that are in the 20k$ per year range, then you have simply not visited any other campuses. MC is pristine.

I have not seen one post here wishing the demise of LC from anyone. They are pointing out problems as they percive them. Problems that need immediate remedy.

I am principled and outspoken. I hope I have passed those traits along to my son in my efforts to make him both a man of God and a leader in his community. Parents send kids to Christian colleges to expand their world view, get educated and learn to be adults in a solid Christian environment. I wont expose him to a place where his expression of his opinions will cause him to be singled out while significant problems are ignored or swept under the rug.

Clearly, such a huge turnover in long tenured faculty is evidence enough that there is a serious problem with the administration.

Good Luck LC, sincerely, as many of our friends have already sent thier kids there. I hope things turn around. We will watch from afar.
