3. Bob Jones University tried something similar once...

But BJU has always had a private security force. On slow days, cruising around Greenville SC (which was most days in Greenville), sometimes we would pull into the front gate of BJU and drive slowly thru the campus.

The campus cops would always follow us in one of their cars, until we exited thru the back gate. No doubt making sure the campus wasn't being invaded by terrorists, atheists, Jews, Catholics, gays or Uppity Negroes.

Anyway, Bob Jones U. once asked the South Carolina National Guard if it could pick up some surplus .50-caliber machine guns.

This request went to the state Attorney General, who probably had a WTF moment. He asked why a small Bible school needed armor-piercing heavy machine guns.

The response: "To protect our white female students."

Amazingly, that request was denied.
