Ok. Being a Christian I really do not understand this one at all. A Hindu running Christian studies? These two religions are diametricly opposed. This is weird.

Why should they have to follow the religion to teach it? Plenty of Christians run comparative religion classes.

True, but at a Christian based college, that teaches the total opposite of the new director? Still think it is weird.

As long as he follows the curriculum, it should be fine. I have Wiccan friends who work at Christian and Catholic schools, and they went in understanding the rules.

I think it's weird too. That would be like letting a sasquatch breeder take care of my unicorns.

Yes, but if a centaur is qualified, would you consider him?
