You think I was being humorous? What kind of silly question is that to ask?

Names were named...no grenades!
I'm sure others on this board could give some names of seminaries that fall into the same group as Clremont and Princeton, and the truth is, it is you who jumped to conclusions, as you seemed to miss my words, and I quote, "I am not lumping all preachers who graduate from a seminary in the same group, just pointing out how lame seminary has become!" I am not saying, and never would say that ALL seminaries are lame, but there are some, and that just shouldn't be when we are talking about men and women prepping to teach God's Word to the sheep.
I take the teaching of the word seriously, and have a sense of disdain for those who flippantly teach the word, and try to merge the social sins into their theology! God's Word is holy and to change it in any way is guilty of Revelation 22:18which in the KJV states, "For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book:"
The Emergent Chruch and those graduating from any level of higher-education [A.A., B.A., M.A., D.Min., etc.] that is willing to add to or take away from the Words written within the Bible will in fact pay a high price!
I.e., t that teach same-gender marriage are okay, or ordain same gender preferring preachers, will, in fact, face wrath. Along with those who teach abortion is an okay thing!
No, I'm not throwing, tossing, or even lobbing grenades, I putting the false teachers in my cross hairs, and taking them out one by one! If the shoe fit, the guilty party will have to wear it and answer to a higher authority than my words of scorn and judgment! :type: -
Claremont is off my rador --it's just a United Methodist Seminary.
Can't you go beyond these old and isolated cases?
I think that among Baptist seminaries the following are pretty good:
Detroit,Luther Rice,Mid-America,and SBTS.
Among non-denominational ones: Trinity Evangelical Divinity School, Dallas,Bob Jones and Master's.
Among the Reformed ones:Geneva (SC.),Puritan Reformed,Mid-America (Ind.),Westminster (East and West),Knox (Fl),Whitefield,Reformed Theological Seminary in Fl,Geo,Miss,N.C.,D.C.
May more could be names in these three groups alone. I'm thinking of Beeson Divinity School,and Biblical Theological Seninary in Pa.
Having a seminiary education at these (and other) places would be a boon for preachers. -
