Who briefly attended Patrick Henry University, an “accredited” college that is basically a finishing school for home-schooled, right-wing Christian kids.
" All students must sign a “Statement of Faith” before they enroll, affirming belief in what the college considers core Christian doctrines.

Teaching faculty must also sign the Statement of Faith and a more detailed Statement of Biblical Worldview, which represents the college’s requirements for what should be taught.For example, the Biblical Worldview Applications states, “Any biology, Bible, or other courses at PHC dealing with creation will teach creation from the understanding of Scripture that God’s creative work, as described in Genesis 1:1–31, was completed in six twenty-four-hour days.”[[13]]
In 2006, PHC founder Farris commented that the college held the view that its [faith]was the only true faith (“we believe that there is truth and there is error”) and expressed disapproval of religious and social [toleration]. “Tolerance cannot coexist with liberty” because "the crowd of tolerance wants to ban speech.

In consequence, PHC is not required to follow federal guidelines, like most other institutions, concerning sex-based and other forms of discrimination, the reporting of on-campus crimes, and investigations into allegations of sexual misconduct.
