Well, Brigham Young is the *best* Mormon university out there. Tom Send a noteboard - 26/01/2013 01:37:16 AM
I think it's the only one, too. According to Wikipedia, it's ranked 71st, which is a nice way of saying it's just another second-rate school. Even so, I'm sure there are some very bright people who went there because their families are Mormon or something. But in terms of being academically rigorous, somehow I doubt that a school run by people who think Jesus and Satan were brothers and that there were Jews in ancient America with cows and horses and iron implements, is going to be a very "academically rigorous" school.
Political correctness is the pettiest form of casuistry.

ἡ δὲ κἀκ τριῶν τρυπημάτων ἐργαζομένη ἐνεκάλει τῇ φύσει, δυσφορουμένη, ὅτι δὴ μὴ καὶ τοὺς τιτθοὺς αὐτῇ εὐρύτερον ἢ νῦν εἰσι τρυπώη, ὅπως καὶ ἄλλην ἐνταῦθα μίξιν ἐπιτεχνᾶσθαι δυνατὴ εἴη. – Procopius
