Academic adventures at Regent U.

If you're considering a career in psychological counseling, you might want to avoid Pat Robertson's Regent University. It's lost that touchy-feely feeling.

Five of the 11 full-time professors in the master’s degree counseling program of the School of Psychology and Counseling resigned, complaining of "a culture of academic insensitivity" at the school. Students were left puzzled and angry.

Robertson, who started the university in 1978, isn't directly mixed up in this controversy. But it's curious that God didn't warn him it was coming.

Combined with the turmoil at Oral Roberts University, we're thinking that these "prosperity gospel" ministries might not be cut out for providing a challenging intellectual environment for the nation's young people. They might not even be cut out for home schooling their own kids in their lavish living rooms.

In fact, it might be best if they just put on a Veggie Tales DVD and quietly left the room.
