Liberty University, the Lynchburg, Va., school founded by the Rev. Jerry Falwell and now run by his son, has stripped the local College Democrats’ chapter from its list of official clubs because it “stands against” the school’s moral principles.

According to the Washington Times:”It’s a symbolic thing,” said Liberty President Jerry Falwell Jr. “These are great Christian kids. I sit with them at ball games, they mean well, but they’re not doing what they said they were going to do when they formed.”

He said club organizers promised to stand for pro-life, pro-family causes and to work to move the Democratic Party in that direction, but have instead supported pro-choice candidates who work at cross-purposes to the school’s Christian beliefs.”


The club is not being disbanded, WT reports, but may not use the school’s name or receive school funding.
