Abstract

New Curricula for Bigotry
Sherrill, Robert G. | March 29, 1965 issue

add to cart   close window

One of the most apparent defects of fundamentalism is that, like John Wayne impersonating a Roman soldier at the Crucifixion, it runs to vulgarities, religious art that glows in the dark, rinky-tink hymns. In an incongruous way, EJU tries to move against this tendency; incongruous because, although the school rails against the world's depravity and the degeneracy of man, it promotes activities that would attract the worldly. It has a cinema department that ranks just behind USC's and UCLA's, a music department equipped with 100 pianos and twelve organs, and an art galkry that offers a sprinkling of Botticelli, Tintoretto and Titian.
