Left leaning yes, but to claim they are the same as Liberty University as far as extremism is simply just rhetoric.
I realize this is a private institution so they can do what they want, but I still believe a broader issue is going on here: the politicization of educational institutions.
Didn't Monica Goodling attend this school?
WTF is Liberty University??
Is it even a accredited school?
They require 'creation' studies for biology majors.:doh
See article
Okay... next.
Liberty University "teacher" said:“Which penguin gets eaten?” he asks. “The one that’s genetically inferior, or the one that’s in the wrong place at the wrong time?”
The sad part there is the person teaching how bad evolution is does not understand it.
this of course leads to the question...do we really care what happens at Fruitcake U?
Haven't you been to a uni? They are already very political, at least in the humanities, although usually it is leftist stuff being put out. The amount of feminist, Marxist, Post-modernist garbage you have to wade through just to do basic things like history is absurd.I realize this is a private institution so they can do what they want, but I still believe a broader issue is going on here: the politicization of educational institutions. How can you just outright ban a Democrat club on these social fringe issues? It would be like banning the GOP club because you don't support war. As if the GOP never does anything "unchristian".
I'll elaborate. There are many reasons to be Democrat or Republican and they don't all stem from these social issues. In voting for either party, you are going to end up voting for some policies you dislike. It's a two party system and neither is perfect.
I've met Christians who have accused the GOP of being "unchristian" and have voted against them for that reason, or not voted at all. I don't see why one group deserves to be banned from campus while the other is supported. It shows politico-religious bias to a sick degree.
I don't see how banning any kind of political discourse about one's nation is a good thing, especially in universities that are supposed to be about learning facts about many different areas. Liberty University is essentially grooming the campus to vote Republican and to me that amounts to political interference, something that the church is not supposed to be doing.
Should we now have "Republican Universities" and "Democratic Universities"? Forget which school has the best program, let's just enroll based on which party they like.
The fact that it's in most cases not quite as extreme as at Liberty doesn't justify it. I'd like to think that we hold real schools to a higher standard.

Half my lecturers seem to be outspoken leftists and there are no outspoken traditionalists or conservatives to me knowledge. And when you get to the clubs there is are at least two labour clubs, almost all the student council candidates seem to be leftists and such. Sometimes I feel like asking them how they feel about the high Tory vote.
Can you show me why I have to? He objected to politics in unis and I responded to that.And can you show me in the U.S. where left-leaning universities have BANNED the Republican clubs like this abomination of a university has with the Democratic Club?

No, I responded to something Orius said, you are making leaps.Well you seem to like to compare the Liberty University to others and there simply isn't no comparison.
No, I responded to something Orius said, you are making leaps.
Again no comparison.
Again no comparison.
Left leaning does not mean it is taking away the rights of people.
Again, can you tell me a "left-leaning" college that has BANNED the Republican clubs like Liberty did? If not, your assertion that left-leaning is equated to taking away liberties is irrelevant, unlike this hypocritical named school such as Liberty University.

And before someone says they are a private school and have the right to ban whatever club they want, I am willing to be they couldn't ban an African American club.
The Gaggle : Liberty University Bans Democrat Club
I know it's an editorial but it stems from a real event. If someone can find a better article I'd appreciate it.

Actually, decisions of war would come under the shading of accepting that the people in authority are due obedience, which is also part of Christian doctrine.
