Regarding the title, I think it has more to do with passages like these:
"Most college students are allowed to leave their rooms whenever they want. You might say it’s one of the hallmarks of life outside day care. And Oklahoma Wesleyan does generously allow you to come and go as you please — during the day. But coming in late after curfew, or "sneaking out at night," in the handbook’s wording, is another minor violation of school policy."
and
"Better be careful, you wild and crazy kids. Pranks — even "non-destructive" pranks — are also a minor violation of school policy."
As far as evangelical college policies go, these are relatively tame. For instance, the largest of these institutions, Liberty university, would until very recently fine students for watching R-rated movies or not keeping their dorm rooms tidy.
- dudul 11y agoWell, again I would put that under the Christian influence of the school. Are military schools day-cares? I don't think you're allowed to walk around during the night or keep your barracks dirty and messy. The author seems too smart not to understand what "day-care" meant in the original post he is criticizing.
- thieving_magpie 11y agoSo the university has rules to govern student behavior. Why do we have to take everything to an extreme and refer to them as a "day care". This is stupid.
- DanBC 11y agoA member of staff at the University recently started a discussion where he said the Uni was not a day care. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10654831 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10654831 Pointing out that the uni treats students as children is a valid response.
