"LIBERTY" University

So much angry stuff I could say but... Honestly... I feel bad for the students.

I know what it's like to be sent to a sub-standard college and I know that for a lot of them, parents have kept them so emotionally crippled that they believe they must go where their parents say or they'll be failures and whatnot.

I walked that road long ago. It's a difficult path, but ... I dunno. I think in some ways, weeds thrive best in the face of adversity. I can hope that such a sickening display of censorship will do more to wake up the students at that college than ignoring the group would have.

Didn't the Landover Baptists come out of a situation like that?

Yup, kicked out of Liberty University.

Liberty University is a play-pretend school for homeschooled kids to go to and finish their brainwashing and end up with a play-pretend degree and a cushy position in a rightwing think tank or a Republican administration where they can do exactly what their superiors tell them to do and believe for the rest of their life.

Hey, graduating from Liberty University is a good way to get a position as a curator or research scientist at the prestigious Discovery Institute!

Yes, a play-pretend group of scienticians! they have lab coats and everything, analyzing important scientifical issues like how many angels can fit on the head of a pin.

The scary part is it's just the vanguard of more such think-tanks so that they can claim to publish peer reviewed "research".
