Missouri college telling fundie babtist convention take a hike
Willian Jewell College a small private college in Liberty Mo. receives almost a million dollars per year from the missouri babtist convention (mbc). They have a 154 year history, however, the college has taken a different stand on homosexuality and womens rights. Drawing the wrath of the fundies who have taken over the mbc.

The mbc is expected to withdraw it's financial support in an effort to greenmail the college into towing it's far right taliban agenda. The college is saying no and is respecting the right of their students to think for themselves.
