"Liberty" University President pulls anti-Trump column...

Post by HooFighter »

...from student newspaper.
Falwell, a stalwart Trump supporter, said the evangelical school's newspaper was already publishing a medical student's pro-Hillary Clinton letter to the editor on the Opinion page, making Schmieg's column "redundant."

After going back and forth, I decided we didn't need two saying the same thing, using up valuable space," Falwell said.
All of a sudden the university president is the editor of the paper too

Donald Trump is a stupid man's idea of a smart man, a poor man's idea of a rich man, and a weak man's idea of a strong man.

Yeah....doesn't it suck when University officials stifle free speech to push their own personal agendas?
Looks like the only thing 1984 got wrong was the date.

He should have just said the person working for the paper wasn't authorized to grant that column publishing........

I guess now we know why a good Christian man like Jerry Falwell Jr. endorsed a godless heathen like Donald Trump.

Wow....what a mess. There are so many open and unverified trash in that article. I was waiting for something to do with a “Falwell wife pee tape” for hoof to get wood over........this story seems right up his alley though.
