Handbooks from Conservative Christian Colleges

If you are just bored enough to enjoy getting weirded out for an hour or so, try out my new favourite hobby: reading student handbooks from conservative Christian colleges. Whether you get your jollies chaperoning dates talking about approved subjects while avoiding physical contact or you just like to wear midi-length skirts*, conservative Christian colleges unaccredited discount degree mills are fun for everyone no one.
