The Chronicle: Colloquy: Responses

With the multitude of challenges facing all young people today, why would the University of Maryland choose unconventional religious groups as a focus of danger for students? Why don't you offer courses in the dangers of sexual promiscuity, or underage drinking? How about the risks inherent in the group-think mentality prevalent in many fraternities and sororities? Or better yet -- How about teaching students to protect themselves from the many leftist professors who try to indoctrinate them to fear the free market and love big government?
