I had heard this was the case, but until I actually experienced it, I did not believe it would be so bad. Basically there are two causes of evil in the world, 1 -men, and 2 -anything Christianity might stand for. In history, politics, current affairs, ideology and philosophy, if Christianity is mentioned, it is only to say how it has created all our problems. Facts, like those of history, are highly edited -even falsified- to remove anything positive about Christianity. I get even more frustrated when in discussions, lecturers tend to ignore my points, and when they say that as they are the academics, only they have the skills to properly evaluate and truly understand issues. I must say though that I still manage to get quite good marks in essays. Lecturers admit they don't agree with my points or conclusions, but they cannot refute the logic. For any students out there, I have found this website from the Sydney University Evangelical Union to have some very helpful talks - <a href="http://www.sueu.org.au/resources/eu_media/" rel="nofollow">www.sueu.org.au/resources/eu_media/</a> Greg Randles  As a Christian 39 year old male university student I constantly find myself amazed at the overwhelming bias taught in lectures.
