(CNN) – Liberty University, the evangelical school in Virginia founded by the late Rev. Jerry Falwell, is drawing heat Friday for its decision to revoke recognition of the College Democrats' chapter on campus.
According to the Lynchburg News & Advance, the school decided a week ago the organization "stood against the moral principles" held by the school and therefore could no longer be sanctioned.
Maria Childress, the staff adviser to the club, told the paper the school - which opposes abortion rights and gay marriage - had issues with the Democratic Party platform.
Childress says she was told by Mark Hine, the vice president of student affairs, that "'You can't be a Democrat and be a Christian and be a university representative.'"
In a conference call with reporters Friday, Terry McAuliffe - the former chairman of the Democratic National Committee who is running for governor of Virginia - sharply criticized the move.
The university did not return CNN's request for comment.

They gotta watch out...you better watch what you say coming out of that mouth and for the record, Jesus ain't on your side buddy...
the American Taliban has been born! Jerry Falwell is a proud daddy!
Well, this is a private university, they have a right to ban anyone. Even though its totally stupid. How do you learn and grow when your believes are never challenged?
As a Catholic, we have many universities, our universities do not ban anyone. I am proud of this.
How narrow minded can "Liberty" U., be?
Naturally the Hannity/Limbaugh crowd will defend this as a victory for the rights of a private college, much as they would be screaming bloody murder were a different private college choose to revoke recognition of College Republicans. "You can't be a Democrat and be a Christian" is one of the most inflammatory statements I have ever heard.
Hogwash ....
These Democratic students are no more or less "moral" than the Young Republicans. In fact, I'll bet there is more debauchery from those toe-tapping republicans.
Too bad Liberty U doesn't realized that in this day such lies get revealled and propogate quickly on You-Tube, Twitter, etc.
It does sound like nazi national party to me. You are either with us or against us. Wait a second? What does it remind me?????
We should ban Liberty University then, how about that! They certain don't seem to represent the ideals and values we as American cherish – those of free speech and of free association. And at the time when more people in this Christian nation consider themselves Democrats than ever before, for Liberty to say and do things it did is not just morally offensive, it's un-American and it's reeks of stupidity.
But then again, what do you expect of people who think the world began few thousand years ago
and CNN you are a fraud too...
So much for liberty at Liberty University!
Let's see...no free speech, no freedom of assembly...and the name of this place is WHAT University? Yikes.
Look citizens on where we are going with all this....
Liberals – I hate them.
Obama plays on class warfare, fear and hatred. That is the basis of every speech he gives.
So Liberty University is finally showing itself for what it is...a political organization. Attention IRS!
Absolutely ridiculous. Another sad example of people being unable to be open minded, accept others and accept the fact that not everyone will has the same views as them. And they call themselves a University?
Democratic platform opposes abortion rights and gay marriage?- I believe we have a typo.
Why is CNN not reporting on the Pelosi news confrence and her still accusing the CIA of lying. And why is it ok for police to use electric shock on americans(tazar) but not ok to pour water on a terrorist.
Jesus would crap down these peoples throats. They are the most vile form of flat earth morons in existance. They live in the gutter and drink up what ever narrow minded half witted completely idiotic fairy tale you tell them, as long as you do it with a lot of make up on, or ask them for money after telling them.
As a true christian, I can tell you for certain these deviants shall rot in hell for their passionate hatred of all man kind!
I'm surprised a place like Liberty ever recognized them. Last time I was in one of "those" churches the pastor was preaching that voting Democrat even one time is a mortal sin. I left the Republican party the next day, by the way. I'm no Democrat, but no way in heck do I want to be associated with those crazies.
i did not know that the the democratic party opposes abortion rights and gay marriage.
I thought it was the republicans. Go figure...
Well, it is a private religious university so it should be able to do whatever it wants. If it was a public university it would be a different story.
I am so embarrassed by this "Christian" right crusade. Absolutely humilated.
The American Taliban University is more like it. Sharia law is good news compared to these extremists.
We should ban the accreditation of Liberty University, it's obviously not a real university for higher learning. What a bunch of idiots!
They should put "liberty" in quotes. That's really the last thing they want.
I would say you can't be a *Republican* and still be a Christian. Examples: An unjust war that killed tens of thousands, approval of torture. Yeah . . . tell me again about WWJD!
Liberty University's Nazi brethren banned Jewish organizations in the 1930s so what's the big stink?
Doesn't surprise me. Evangelicals are SO scared that their kids will be exposed to more than one side of the issues – it's to be expected.
Poorly worded.
The school has a problems doe the Dem group becasue they(the school) oppose Gay Marriage and a woman's right to choice.
Wow!
You can't be a Democrat and a Christian.
Sounds like the republican party. Wonder what the schools stance is on lying, hypocrasy, fear mongering, failure to perform, unAmerican
activities, ego, torture, and hiding misdeeds behind religion?
This should be grounds for revoking their tax exempt status.
It's close to tragic that the "Religious Right" fanatics managed to steal the Republican Party. Self-righteousness and idiocy, all in one package...
"You can't be a Democrat and be a Christian". I guess that makes Liberty University the US version of the Taliban Training Center. Now they are telling you what you must subscribe to for the purpose of being one of them. Well they are a private institution so I guess they can make the demands they choose.
Private University. Get over it!
I agree with Jason. They're a private university and as such, they can do whatever they want.
Although things like this make a degree from Liberty University slightly less valuable that one from Central Alabama Beauty College.
If He hadn't risen HE would be rolling over. I am appalled.
The "religious right" has become a major oxymoron.
Kudos to Liberty University. At least they have more principles than Notre Dame.
Why does the far right always have to have this "my way or the highway attitude" ? If a Liberal Arts College decided to revoke recognition of a College Republicans' group, the GOP would be all over it like white on rice. Why is it so hard for Conservatives to find common ground? Someone please explain this to me?
Yet a recent poll of Christians, in this country, shows a majority support torture.
Hypocrites who are still stuck in the Middle Ages.
Just goes to show you how non tolerant these bigoted right wing evangelists are. They can support the RepubliCON party that has no morals or ethics whatsoever. If Jerry Fallwell's bunch can accept the family values displayed by many Republican politicians, Heaven help us all.
Private university....
It can do this....
If it wants to showcase its stupidity to the world, it's more than able to.
Goodness knows, this is one of the stupidest things I've heard today.
The article states that the Democratic Party platform opposes abortion rights and gay marriage. That is incorrect. According to other articles about this issue, the Liberty College Democrats club had opposed abortion rights and gay marriage before the college shut the club down.
Why is it OK when Berkeley can turn away the Young Republicans, but a Conservative College doesn't have the same right? Only when you disagree with Liberalism can you be silenced. If you disagree with Conservatism, you should be rewarded. You Libs are huge Hypocrites.
Ben Stein's next movie Expelled: No Democrat Allowed
By engaging in partisan politics, Liberty University's will have its tax-exempt status revoked according to tax law. Students should be ashamed that their school is so intolerant and hateful.
Chalk up this as good news. Will make sure it doesn't take any of the potentially bright ones.
And this is a University that is suppose to promote love and caring for all people.
Republicans, you are unfortunately doomed in 2010 and 2012.
So Let me get this Straight if your a Democrat your Not a Christian? The Religious Extreme right has turned into the Taliban!
How do you say Taliban in English? The Religious Right.
These people are a far cry from Jesus and his teachings.
This is no surprise to me. I am a Christian and I am ashamed at how we are sometimes represented. How do you say someone is not a Christian because you are a democrat? Fallwell was the biggest crook I have ever seen in my life. I love God, love this country and love the fact I can agree to disagree with my friends on pertinent issues of our day. These same people approve of torture, give excuses for children being rapred at the hand of religious leaders, have their daughters get abortions. We need to reassess our priorities as Christians and truly love one another, even those that do not agree with us.
Mind control is alive and well in 2009.
Of course they are a private organizationa and can do as they please. They definitely don't believe in "Liberty", and anybody who wants their kid to get a job for more than minimum wage should think long and hard before paying their hard-earned money to that "school", but that's the "University's" problem. And I have every right to refuse to give my party affiliation, money or vote to any politician, group or organization remotely associated with their "movement". Done!
You support torture? Fine
You support capitol punishment? That is good.
100,000 dead Iraqis mean nothing to you? No problem.
Believe that sick people without insurance should just quietly die. Great!
What is that you say, you believe that two consenting adults should be able to marry whatever their sexes? Well, that shows you aren't moral enough to be here.
Ok, so this is what a religious university is all about?
I suppose you can't be a Democrat and a Christian in the same way that you can't be a Republican and have a brain.
Why is it that all of you spewing hate on here have no problem when a university bans ROTC but can't control your rage when a university bans a group that you support?
Why would anyone who believes in intellectual honesty go to liberty University. You have to know your getting a twisted education.
Yes they are private and are allowed to ban what they want, but does it make them look ridiculous? Of course.
I never saw any "libs" complaining about Republicans being banned...I'm far more liberal than conservative but I would never want ROTC or GOP student groups banned....nice straw-man distraction from a few posters.
Religious finatics and their "beliefs" have spread more evil than any other force on earth since the begining of man.
The current day psychos include all so called fundamentalists, like the Taliban, Falwell, Dobson, Robertson, and many more.
We should be more cautious in providing "non-profit" status for all churches. Many churches are a social parisitic klans for profit.
And this has nothing to do with spirtuality, which to me is very different than religion. And any religion that excludes any group of people is not spirtually based.
So basically they are calling Democrats "evil." That's very interesting, but not surprising. The right-wing nut job faction of the party is getting more and more crazy, and their taking the whole Republican party down the toilet with them. The VAST majority of the citizens of this country disagree with these right-wing wackos, and they will soon be insignificant.
Reason #1,000 why the Republican Party as hijacked by the religious right is irrelevant and well on it's way to extinction. Good riddance.
I am a democrat but this is a private university. If you have a problem with it – don't attend the university. It's that simple.
Maybe the University is run by a bunch of brutish boors rather than broad-minded blokes. We opine that they may benefit from headshrinks.
Well, it is a private university. They have that right. It's sad, but they have that right to ban anyone they want to.
You are wrong – the Democratic party does NOT oppose abortion rights – it suports them. Neither party supports gay marriage.
Fine since they discriminate ban all federal funds.
while I don't agree with it..............they are a private school...........can do whatever they want
It is time to relabel the religious right as the religious WRONG.
jerry falwell is dead, right? i recall rejoicing in that recently?
It is a school, dammit – let people think!!!
Liberty University have the right to take such stupid stance. But they should be compelled to change the LIBERTY name to something else, like DICK university.
In a poll a few months ago, approximately 21% of the voters labeled themselves as republican.
And now we see what religious tolerance means to right wing republicans.
Wow, where are all of the 1st Amendant supporters??? What happened to having the right to say or associate with who you want? Oh wait, that only applies to liberals, they have those rights and not conservatives...... Typical two-faced liberals..... Deny the rights of those you hate....
Liberty University: We only accept War Criminals and torturers!
Have mercy on them, O Father, they know not what they do.
Hmmm .
A majority of Christians in this country favor torture, preemptive war, and capital punishment.
Maybe its time someone banned Christianity.
What self-respecting Democrat would go to that crackpot school anyway?
As a private school, it has the right to ban any organization...but it testifies to the intrinsic intolerance Christians have for anything it perceives as a threat.
Last time I checked, "Christian" does not equal "republican."
I think Liberty University needs to try just a bit harder to live up to its name!
Who says Jerry Falwell is dead?
Perhaps there should be a move to revoke the university's ability to award degrees which call for an open mind, e.g., law degrees and teaching, and see whether their IRS status is still acceptable.
A private school can do this if they want, should they? I guess when Jesus taught us that we're all brother and sisters he didn't mean Democrats too.
If it's a private university then they seem to be within their rights.
I wonder how many students will be withdrawing from school over these actions?
tha shall not judge, isn't that in the bible, or he just conviniently forgot that page in the bible I mean to think a president in any university can be this narrow minded is outerly inconprehensible. these are the same people who cream bloody murder for abortion but totally ok with wars and not so eager to protect the borned is hypocracy at it's highest level.
Yet another reason to consider the outstanding Liberty University!
In addition to their extreme closemindedness, might I also recommend their quite excellent academics, as evidenced by their 94% acceptance rate, as well as their tendency to actually send applications to high school students numerous times? It's mid-May, and just a few days ago, I received a packet in the mail with an application from Liberty.
Seriously, though, they do realize that Billy Graham himself is a registered Democrat, don't they?
Oh, wait. People actually like and admire Billy Graham.
They used fight like hell for their intellectual credibility. Whenever their debate team scores a win against one of the weaker Harvard teams, for example, Falwell would put it into his speeches.
Then, they do things like this and reveal who is really behind the curtain.
They are a private university, but they seek to have a public image that bestows their graduates with credibility. If I had graduated from Liberty, I'd be requesting a partial tuition refund after this one....
This is disgusting.

Why is it that all of you spewing hate on here have no problem when a university bans ROTC but can't control your rage when a university bans a group that you support?

Hey Mike...I see you are from Tx....hang any black people today?
I like your Christ. I do not like your Christians. Your Christians are so unlike your Christ. ~ M. Ghandi
Typical intolerance of the religious right. Keep it up folks...
They should open a branch of their University in Myanmar ! Great place, wonderful military regime !
WWJD? He's not welcomed there, so He would leave with the Dems.......
I sought to hear the voice of God, so I climbed the utmost steeple.....But the voice declared, "Go down again, I dwell among my people." Some are so heavenly minded they are no earthly good......
Fine with me! Religion is the reason for most wars if you'll read history books! SAD that we have this happening in our country!
Jerry falwell is a moron..liberty university has drawn the ridicule of many people for a long time..this just adds fuel to the fire..unfortunatly this also sheds light on a lot of liberal institutions that have banned such things as ROTC..I believe harvard university is one of them..maybe nancy pelosis' new job could be president of liberty university
Excellent! One more step toward insignificance for the hateful right.
Repugs: If y'all ain't white, christian, suthern sheep, y'all cain't be in are party. Marching Towards Obskurity! Ooh-rah!
Tools.
Sniffit...
I did a little research into the banning of ROTC and College Republicans and found that BOTH the College repbublicans and dems were presenting cases at universities to reinstate ROTC. I also found nothing about College Republicans losing their sanction. Maybe its in there deep somewhere, but it hasn't happened recently.
So in my opinion that was a pretty moot point.
That said, they ARE a private school, they CAN do what they want. If you don't like it, go somewhere else. But I totally disagree with the comment that you can't be Christian and Democrate. Judge not....
Wow, talk about extremism. It's very good when this type of behavior becomes public. It exposes the hypocrisy of some supposed christians.
Once again, as always, religion stands against freedom.
Good!
GOOD FOR THEM !!
Demcrats these days = disrespectful, America-hating, spiteful punk-ass liberals...They shouldn't be allowed on any campus; they continually try to pollute the minds of youth with the entitlement mentality. The Party of D'OH was dissed!
Luke Brown May 22nd, 2009 4:42 pm ET
Hmmm .
A majority of Christians in this country favor torture, preemptive war, and capital punishment.
Maybe its time someone banned Christianity.
______________
You are so right.
Is this a new organization or does this have something to do with having a black democratic president?
I see lawsuit coming. Doesnt matter if its a reasonable one. Its not very good publicity these days. I could be wrong but I dont think a private university can ban anybody without just cause. Politics are not one of them.
You have Liberty, at Liberty University. You have the liberty to not be a filthy Democrat.
Idiots.
As a Republican I can't believe that a school would ban the Democratic club because it offers a different viewpoint. By doing that, by silencing your opposition they are no better than Obama and company.
Although I don't think Hell exists, I almost hope it does just so I can stand in the line at the entrance to Hell...and see all the Christians standing in the same line with me waiting to get a roasting.
I think I have a new favorite university.
Sniffit said:
"Yet you libs are ok when a university bans the ROTC or College Republicans?"
No. "We libs" are generally against any form of censorship.
Any other dumb questions?
Will the CIA hire Liberty University graduates?
"Do unto other as you would have them do unto you."
"Forgive us our tresspasses AS WE FORGIVE THOSE WHO TRESPASS AGAINST US"
And final point of irrony....the school is names LIBERTY University....hummmmmmm
I have been a Baptist (Southern) for over 50 years, but lately I haven't felt very comfortable with the church's stands on some subjects. One that has really irritated me is the idea that you can't be a Christian and vote for a Democrat. If I have to I will walk out of my church with my head held high, but I will not be brow-beaten by anyone mixing politics with my religion.
Liberty University. . . Tolerance is thy name. Now that you have burned the US Constitution, make sure you do not take any funds whatsoever from the Feds or State government.
Well they are just putting their religion ahead of their politics... nothing wrong with that... people also have the right to put their politics ahead of their religion.
You Dems aren't so different from Liberty University. Seems like you both want to wipe out those with differing beliefs.
PEOPLE WAKE UP SEPERATION OF CHURCH AND STATE. THese so called evangelicals are full of hatred and hail. They are trying to take away our rights. Its time to wake up pretty soon they will be telling us here in the USA what church we can and can't go too. They say don't practice abortion, but yet they believe in tortue, molestation on children and racism.
Religious institutions stifle the progress of knowledge.
They sure didn't have a problem taking the money from the Democratic parents to pay for the Democratic kid's tuition, though. LOL. What a bunch.
I don't know about ban, but I strongly recommend that they should be thoroughly checked by a psychiatrist. Democrats at Liberty?! Something seriously wrong with them!
I thought that a condition of a church's tax exemption was to keep their mouths shut on political issues. If they are going to be pushing a backward political agenda, shouldn't the churches be required to pay tax? The US could certainly use the revenue.
I might be wrong, but maybe not.
By their deeds ye shall know them.
if Jesus and says i'm a liberal and Liberty College will refuse Him too. Christians are no longer are following Christ way of life as told in the Bible. Jesus did predicted such group as these right wingers will arise at the End of Days. its so Talibanican....Oh the Hypocrisy!!!
Cheney is Ex VP. Not Vise President!!!!!
Margot –
It's not hard for a "real" conservative to find common ground with others. Or at least disagree without being disagreeable.
Then again, a "real" conservative doesn't want Big Government sticking its nose into everybody's bedroom and telling people to face Mecca five times a day to pray.
Ooops, confusing the Religious Right with the Taliban again. Easy mistake to make these days! Same principles apply though, just a different name for their excuse to control other people's lives.
Sniffit, I don't let 'em ban anybody. That's YOU guys, and this is your school. Stinks to be you but it always did . . . .
Liberty University is here today ONLY because Democrats and Republicans have died on the battle ground . NUFFFFF SAIDDDDD..
Cool, Jerry. As if anyone had any doubts about the remarkable workings of your mind, this erases any doubt. You've managed to prove once again that religion divides rather than unites people, and that it is an instrument by which some people control others.
Another thing, Jerry: You've also proven yet again that you're a narcissist with the IQ of a bean burrito.
The University should be STRIPPED of any and ALL federal grants, scholarship, funding and State Accredited Licenses!! It's BLATANT discrimination and it's ILLEGAL!!!
Seems to me that if this is a tax-exempt enterprise based on religion, the IRS needs to investigate it based on it now declaring itself affiliated with a political party.
This is equavalent to barring blacks from voting or participating in a constitutional democracy. This is the main reason why only a select group of people will choose the republican party. Democrats rarely try stunts like this. The pockets of someone will be filled after suing the pants off of these morons.
Why does it seem like everything related to the GOP, is about taking rights away from people?
Wow, I didn't realize Liberty University was run by the Christian Taliban. What next? Will the start expelling students based on their political leanings? Absolutely terrible.
Don't these people realize the separation of church and state was to protect the church even more than the state? See how corrupted some of these "churches" have become by politics. They should be ashamed, it's worse than the Middle Ages. Ban whoever you want, preach politics as much as you want, but don't you dare scream bloody murder when the IRS comes knocking on your door!
If they want to be in a College Democrats organization, that's fine, pick a different school. Liberty University is completely within their rights, it is a private school. More christian schools need to stand up for their principles. We won't be bullied.
Apparently some do not realize Jerry Falwell has passed away.
Wow. Well, since it's a private institution it can do whatever it wants, I guess. Rather hypocritical of a university that claims to be a Christian one, but whatever. I am kind of curious though to see how long their chapter of College Democrats existed before they decided on this.
The first thing the Nazi's did – ban the opposition. Yes, "Liberty" has a right to do it because they are a private institution, but they can't really expect the rest of us to take them seriously can they?
L I B E R T Y U N I V E R S I T Y = JOKE
the typical fascist tendency of the GOP
Phil May 22nd, 2009 4:45 pm ET
A private school can do this if they want, should they? I guess when Jesus taught us that we're all brother and sisters he didn't mean Democrats too.
_____________________________________________
No doubt, I don't recall where Jesus said, "forgive us our trespasses as we trespass on others."
Before everyone freaks out about not allowing this organization onto its private campus, let's not forget about ROTC being banned from several institutions.
The good Rev. Jerry Falwell just proves he does not believe the bible he sets his Sunday Messages on. The lord says judge not lest you shall be judged. For whatever excuse he's using to not allow this Chapter to be on campus is a direct insult to the church, christians and God who says everyone is created equal and shall be judged equal. Their sexual orientation should never keep them from collegs of whatever they choose to go to. When you are wrong admit you are wrong. Let the unguilty of sins cast the first stones and quit proving that most of the American people are heatherns.
Well, GOPers, there goes your moral high horse for claiming that liberal colleges are engaged in a campaign of violating conservative students' free speach rights. Have a nice demise.
This school should not get any federal money. Can you imagine what would happen if some liberal school banned the college GOP club? OMG it would be world war three with those people. I think some college should try it and see what happens.
Ironically,
After reviw of the rules, Jesus Christ wouldn't be allowed to attend.
Jesus never involved himself in the politics of any day. He said blatantly and clearly in his words that his Kingdom was not of this. Ah but the Taliban part of it, Liberty is a bit that way. Jesus was more of a liberal in that He gave people the power of choice at creation. He could made us like robots. Liberty stance is more robotic.
ooops Democrat not democrate...
All forms of religious extremists try to ban honest debate and freedom of thought. What next...banning education for girls?
Wow, where are all of the 1st Amendant supporters???...
Tim, No one's saying they can't do this, they're saying it defeats the purpose of a university (see: education). A university is where you learn to think, not where you are told what to think.
That said, this school doesn't hide what it stands for. It's main page says "Training Champions for Christ." I think we can all agree that the American brand of Christianity has (more than not) strayed far from Christian principles of morality and tolerance, and this school preaches this form of Christianity.
If they get federal funds through financial aid or grants, they have little right to do this. The minute they stop taking government money–all of it–is the day I gain any shred of respect for this madrassa.
The school did a good thing. They don't need these idiot dems in there polluting and watering down what is right!
We need to go after the accreditation of this so-called school. Contact the Commission on Colleges of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools and the Council of the Section of Legal Education and Admissions to the Bar of the American Bar Association. Also need to take this people to court. It is discrimination.
What do you expect from a Hitler Youth camp, uh campus.
Proud memeber of the party of no
Its the party of no brains. Take away their tax exempt status, they are political.
Mike: More christian schools need to stand up for their principles. We won't be bullied.
No YOU ARE the bullies
ZEIG HEIL...ZEIG HEIL....ZEIG HEIL!!!! Long Live the American Nazis!!!
Ah, that's good old fashioned closed mindedness.
Keep up the good work Christians, keep throwing those stones just like Jesus taught us to.....oh wait, no he didn't!
"Maria Childress, the staff adviser to the club, told the paper the school had issues with the Democratic Party platform, which opposes abortion rights and gay marriage."
How about hiring a copy editor CNN? You guys get sloppier by the day...
In ganning the democratic charter the University is in essense admitting that it does not encourage open thought or discussion. A University which does not encourage debate and discussion should really not be called a University. A religious order perhaps, a theology school, but not a University. If we ban thought and discussions at the University, what will encourage it in civil discourse.
This is voter intimidation tactic by Liberty University.
This is a the "Tier 4 college with a 3 year degree program" that Bush used to populate his justice department as well as many other positions. The graduates of this Faux college are the most uninformed under educated nimrods ever to take a breath.
They have that right. Just like people have the choice to have abortions and believe in that, other people believe it is wrong. Remember this is America. We all can stand by our beliefs, not just the Democrats.
Wow, I don't remember Calif or New England based colleges banning Republican groups for their hateful policies.
Coming up next: Girls who are too smart will be dubbed Witches and burned at the stake.
Keep making that tent smaller!
Liberals have no common sense to it makes perfect common sense.
And so the far right fundamental conservatives continue to narrow their field – pretty soon there will be like 2 people in the group. And, ahem, this is LIBERTY University!! Something wrong here?
Democrats are the party of highly educated graduate school professionals. Sorry if we're not as easy to fool as you retardlicans. You confuse disgust with hate, but you confuse so many things.
That's fine and is their business; however, I do think they need to change the name of the college from LIBERTY to GITMO.
I see Jerry is still calling the shots from the grave.
Truly an Extremist University not different from the Madrassas of Pakistan.
Other than the "skinny-challenged," there is only one group in America against whom it's still considered acceptable to discriminate... people of faith. In fact, it's outright encouraged these days.
And I don't mean crazy snake-handling, tongue-speaking holy-rollers... I mean anyone who believes in a power higher than oneself. It's literally open season on Christians, Catholics and anyone who does not worship "self as God."
I neither praise Liberty U, nor condemn them... I just think its about time someone stood up to the dangerous cult that is secular "progressivism."
So, a college with SMART people. Novel idea
Private school...they can do whatever they want. I understand that we may disagree with the decision, but it is their right. They are funded by private dollars, the public has no say in the matter. Sad that they would do this, but it is their call.
