Liberty University asked what classes students were excited to take -- they got hilarious responses

August 24, 2020
By Sarah K. Burris- Commentary

Former Liberty University President Jerry Falwell Jr. was dethroned after it was revealed he violated the code of conduct with his behavior aboard a yacht that showed him drinking what he said was “dark water.” He also had his arm around his wife’s assistant who was holding up her shirt with her pants unbuttoned while he did the same.

The situation got worse when the news was released about Falwell’s preference for threesomes with other men and his wife.

Liberty University believes that “marriage between one man and one woman provides the best environment for children,” said Falwell Jr.

It wasn’t the best day for classes to begin at Liberty University, or for the University to post on social media. Still, the school attempted a normal, upbeat tweet. It didn’t go well.

I look at this from a business owner’s perspective or a hiring manager’s point of view. I wouldn’t hire anyone from this university.

I feel bad for the kids, but realistically, would you want your name linked to this? I’d be looking to transfer.

I see Liberty University on a resume and I’m skipping the entry. My name will be recorded recommending this hire. My business will be viewed through the lens of the people working with me. I won’t tarnish my good name.

It’s just not happening.

I believe there was an article on DU where they pointed out that a bunch of the judges selected/approved were from Liberty U. I think Bush (W) also named some.

They don't have a very good record, but they get the job.

There is a recently jailed previous graduate of this University. The forum had done quite the digging on this due to the imprisoned
persons credentials vs their word salad, and vocabulary issues. They claimed to also have a Masters in something. Anyway according
to information found about the University it seems these degrees are worthless except in religious circles. IE: teaching degree , only
religious schools. You couldn't necessarily teach in a public school based on degree obtained there.

I'm looking forward to Mr. & Mrs. Jerry Falwell, Jr.'s motel lecture on how a Trinity is formed.

I don't want to participate, so can I just sit in the corner and audit the class? Glory!

Giancarlo Granda speaks highly of the Falwell’s
"Introduction to Tongues."

Some of the incoming freshmen from the county had to be informed that the class, Animal Husbandry, was NOT what they were thinking.

Lived in South Carolina once. Our house was between and Clemson grad and a USC fan. I had no dog in the fight, so it was fun to watch.
