“No courses in evolution or certain sciences or political courses that teach or espouse apikorsus? “
We’ve been down this road before! Why do you insist that everyone has to take evolution courses? or political apikorsus? Many of us who have actually been to college have told you it isn’t a given but you sit on the outside and insist anyway.
Why can’t the truth be good enough for you? Why can’t being true to the Torah be good enough for you? Why do all the peripheral add-ons need to live on whether they actually apply or not?
I don’t believe people should go to secular college. I also don’t believe women should work at all. I also don’t believe children should be raised by anyone other than their moms. But that doesn’t mean all the PERIPHERAL restrictions that existed in the 1920’s 1970’s or 1990’s still exist or apply!
It is causing great confusion to children in this generation to hear non halachik restristrictions presented as truth and law. It is a tremendous disservice to Hashem and His Torah to enforce gobs of restrictions lacking the brilliance He put into the rules He laid out for us. Be thoughtful in your adherence, stick to the Torah that Hashem wrote and not the guidelines your ancestors lived by default.
