In God is Back, the authors devote a three page section to The King’s College. In speaking about higher education, they quote President Stan Oakes: “For all of the sophistication and prestige of the secular colleges . . . almost all of their professors traffic in spent ideas that do not work—bad ideas that have had a myriad of disastrous consequences in our generation. They are wrong about God, human nature, wealth, power, marriage, poverty, family, sex, America, liberty, peace, and many other decisive issues. You deserve better.”
