You'd get this:

http://www.pensacolachristiancollege.com/rules.htm

(Please note that this is not the official site of the college, but an underground, alumni-led newsletter which has been denounced by PCC as a "tool of Satan".

1. PCC is extremely frightening.
They have little old ladies who work in the library and use black markers to censor the books. David (the famous sculpture) has black boxer shorts. The women have to wear dresses and hose at all times.

Worst of all, they're not allowed to research anything except in the PCC library.

And they are allowed to call themselves a college. :scared:

2. Well if it's any consolation, they're not accredited.
Because if they were accredited, then they'd be forced to stop doing a lot of those horrible things to the students.

4. Wow, this college is a frigging CULT!
:wow:

I do like the one part of their dress policy that forbids wearing clothing that has corporate logos on it. :-)

The bit that says 'leaving campus is a privilege' basically confirms this place is a CULT.

This must be the freedom that Al Quaeda hates, right Bushypants*? :eyes:

Nothing on homosexuality though... :D

6. I don't think they have to mention homosexuality...
I think that it's implied that they don't think too highly of it. Although I have seen college policies that say that it is forbidden.

10. Sounds like a porno
What would a porno about that be titled?

Penal co-eds gone wild?

11. Pragmatically speaking, that might be a good idea...
Educating prisoners in meaningful ways might reduce your horrible recidivism rate.

However, that sounds like a scary place -- scarier than most supermax lockdowns by a long shot.

12. That's worsethan any rules that I've seen so far
What kind of college doesn't let students go to the public library or let you go to the bathroom after hours?
I suppose that students go there by choice, but there are other Christian colleges that are more reasonable.

21. How many of those students were "sent" there?
by parents who tell them "you can go to any college you want, but if you want me to help you pay for your education you will go to PCC"?

You could send your kids to Campbell (http://www.campbell.edu)...the religion is as old-timey as PCC's, but at least they're accredited.

15. I can understand the student's need
to go to a school with strict standards of behavior and all these inane rules to keep them on the straight and narrow. What I don't understand is why would anyone waste their time on an unaccredited school?

Pensacola Christian College is my new definition of hell.

18. I think I would like that school!
I would spend so much time arguing with all the funide teachers and students...Spinning their tiny little minds in circles would be so much fun. And so easy too! I would probably get expelled pretty soon but it would be fun while it lasted!

22. You'd set the world's land speed record for expulsion
I'd last a whole day. You'd be gone before lunch.

19. You would have your typical Urban High School.
Dogs, metal detectors, guards with guns, and the dope deals and assaults go rolling along anyway.....
