A Fair Article about Regent University!

From the Boston Globe, no less, comes this piece about the recent firing "scandal" in the United States Attorney General's office that has put a spotlight on my law school alma mater.

An interesting part of the article is that it points out the difference in the graduates even from the late 90s and more recent graduates like myself (as far as the academics, etc). The best thing that the article demonstrates, most surprisingly, is the struggle that a graduate from a Christian school has to endure when such a story comes out. The whole story is worth the read.

It's easy for the world to quickly say, "oh, you're from Regent." And they quickly discount what we would do or say--but as this article shows (and from a liberal paper!), we cannot all be judged by one person's actions, as if that person's quality/character is impugned to the whole lot of us alums.

(As a side note: I have not followed this story much, and would be incorrect in totally point ing blame at Ms. Goodling for her role in this "scandal" since there definitely may be more at work here--the point of the post is that for once, a liberal and secular newspaper treated the story appropriately and was most fair when most would use this as fuel for their fire to marginalize Christians as forces in the professional workplace.)
