Liberty University sez you can't be a Christian and a Democrat

Quote:

Liberty University has revoked its recognition of the campus Democratic Party club, saying “we are unable to lend support to a club whose parent organization stands against the moral principles held by” the university.

...

According to the e-mail, the club must stop using the university’s name, holding meetings on campus, or advertising events. Violators could incur one or more reprimands under the school’s Liberty Way conduct code, and anyone who accumulates 30 reprimands is subject to expulsion.

From here.

Maybe Christians are being persecuted... by Republicans.

Your title is a lie. Look, Falwell is a big, fat gasbag but there's no reason to make stuff up to make him appear worse than he is; he does fine all on his own.

Yeah, Julie, that's not fair. Here's another quote from your linked article:

“That club still has the right to exist,“ Falwell said, although it cannot use the university’s name in its activities.

“They still can meet on campus,“ in certain rooms, he said. “There is absolutely no animosity at all toward any of these kids.

“They are good, Christian kids who sit with me at ball games. I just hope they find a pro-life family organization to affiliate with so they can be endorsed by Liberty again.“

Yeah, and another part says: 'Part of Hine’s e-mail said, “The Democratic Party platform is contrary to the mission of Liberty University and to Christian doctrine...."'

Weeeelllll...I'd say that parts of it are, at least with their brand of Christianity, but there's not really any such thing as a one-size-fits-all political party. Plenty of Catholics are staunch Dems, and still disagree with the party on one or two issues.
