I have never lived in Utah (2 months at MTC don't count!) and have never understood the hatred some BYU fans have for the U. I understand it's an intense rivalvry and we claim that their fans are hostile to us, but I do not understand the hatred towads that school. Some Y fans may mock the U in jest, but some seriously hate them. Remember when Max Hall said he hated everything about the U and many Y fans, including on here, praised him.

How can we question/complain about Mormons hating BYU football when BYU football fans hate the U??
I am really tempted to make a joke out this but since you sound sincere I will be nice. Church leaders attending the U means absolutely nothing other than they escaped seemingly unscathed and yet were not able to improve the place while they were there.

If you want to be a U lover, then here is a little gem for you. If you want a teaching degree from the U, you have to take a course on the joys and normalcy of pornography. I wouldn't send my kid there if there were any other options.

I for one still believe that Max Hall and Austin Collie were right.
I am not a U lover, just not a U hater although maybe I'm just ignorant (I admit it!) of what U really is like since I don't live in Utah. You are going to have to provide proof of your little gem. I did not find it on their website (first time EVER that I went to their website) or on any Google searches. Not calling you lier, but something like that is huge and needs to be backed up.
He's probably referring to the "Human Sexuality" class. It's a common required class in the psychology type degrees, and my wife (who's just now going back to school to complete her degree) had to take it from a state school for her major, and I can assure you that the things taught in that class would not be taught at BYU... BYU's equivalent class discuss the sacred nature of procreation, here, they have transgender guest lecturers and other similar topics
