You seem quite comfortable with the racism.

Not so! Glad I am not training my kids to be racist.

With most students having smartphones, banning this forum is a fool's errand. So many open wi-fi networks around town too.

They sure seem to think that sock-sorting is very, very important. As I stated previously, they have defined dating so broadly as to prohibit even friendly discussions between people of opposite races and gender.

Historical data tells us it was common for people under 18 to marry back then. It was also common in Europe and several generations back in America. 16 year olds can still legally marry in Georgia - without parental permission. Is it wise to marry that young? No. I find your denial that 18...

Pretty ridiculous, huh? Here is the first page of Crown's Dating Policy. I apologize for not posting it in the OP, but I was focusing on the interracial dating restrictions, but now realize this page is also relevant. Note the description of what constitutes a date. This means a white...

As long as the world validates it by popular vote, it must be so. Age of majority, salvation, homosexuality. People younger than 18 were getting married in biblical times, so I do not see where it prohibits practically every culture on this planet from recognizing 18 year olds as adults...

Actually, you miss the point of this thread. Are these restrictions on inter-racial dating okay with you, Tarheel Baptist?

Not just our gov't, but practically the entire world disagrees with you. 18 year olds are considered adults. Again, just because you disagree does not make it untrue. And the IFBx's decision to baby 18 year olds does not justify their racist dating rules.

So their racism is cool then?

Well, Groupie, it is not okay for you to have found such happiness. Didn't your college teach you to  stick with your "own kind"?  You two need to repent of this happy marriage thing you  have so others won't get such bright ideas. (/sarcasm)

Yes, they are adults. You might wish to deny this and approve of them being kept as children, but that does not change the fact they are adults. They can walk out of their parent's home and live on their own anytime they want. They do not need their parents' permission to marry, divorce, sign...

Yes, you are right. Bible colleges that express their racism in their dating rules should be called out for it. Anyone who does not agree with their racist rules needs to do the right thing and vote with their feet. Let only the racists give them their money.

18 years old are adults. Period. College students do not need babysitting. That is ridiculous. If your 18 year old lacks the self-control, knowledge, etc. to manage themselves, do not send them to college. Keep them home and babysit them yourself, because they have no business being sent away...

Good colleges and universities tend to have admission standards that are a great deal higher than these unaccredited Bible colleges. Student who work hard to succeed tend to be more focused and goal-oriented. These schools do not see the need to micro-manage their students' personal lives. There...

IP wrote, "While West Coasts mindset may be more progressive than others, they draw students from all over the  US and as a result they cater to "Southern" mentalities." They are not progressive when it comes to African-Americans and whites dating. It is not just because they are catering to...

Their objection seems to  mainly  be focused on African-American/white couples.

Yes, this. If people are using these IFB bible colleges as college-age, 24-hour daycare, these so-called men and women have no business in church leadership. Let them mature before sending them to college. Mature college age students do not require a college nanny to tell them whom they should...

I disagree that it is a south eastern American issue. I included a link to a IFB Bible college in Southern California (West Coast Baptist College) where they consider interracial (African American / white) relationships exotic and an example of being unequally yoked.

Joseph Duggar is currently a student at Crown College. I wonder if some families find such racist rules a positive attribute for a Bible college. Just makes me wonder. http://www.duggarfamilyblog.com/2015/01/joseph-duggar-starts-college.html
