Falwell university’s tax-exempt status questioned after banning Democratic club

By John Byrne

In a little-noticed letter to the IRS last week, Americans United for Separation of Church and State called for a formal review of the tax-exempt status of the university founded by Rev. Jerry Falwell in the wake of the school’s decision to ban a club for campus Democrats.

Liberty University, founded by the late preacher Jerry Falwell, banned a student Democratic club in May, saying that its principles were not in line with the university’s (even though the club was pro-life and is, by most accounts, moderate). Falwell’s son is now chancellor of the school.

Americans United director Rev. Barry Lynn fired off a letter to the IRS May 27. The letter can be read here (PDF).

“Liberty University is a tax-exempt institution and isn’t allowed to support one party over another,” said the Rev. Barry W. Lynn, executive director of Americans United. “If the school insists on pushing policies that favor Republicans over Democrats, it should have to surrender its tax exemption.”...................

Conservative university bans Democratic club

By John Byrne
As they say in conservative circles, “freedom isn’t free.”

Liberty, apparently, isn’t liberating either.

Liberty University — the largest evangelical university in the world — has revoked its recognition of the campus Democratic Party club. In their explanation, the university said they were “unable to lend support to a club whose parent organization stands against the moral principles held by” the school................

..................

Diaz said that the college’s vice president had actually complimented the club last year for being a faith-based organization working within the Democratic party. Ironically, the group opposes abortion and same-sex marriage — but that wasn’t enough for Liberty University officials.

The group’s staff adviser, Maria Childress, told the paper, “His bottom line was, ‘You can’t be a Democrat and be a Christian and be a university representative.’”...................

more on uhl

who, by the way wanted to be an ARMY CHAPLAIN

seems like he may have been upset with a certain group (i will NOT mention) who generally protest at the funerals of service people under the pretext that 'god doesn't like fags' (yeah, i don't get it either but there may be a bit of inbreeding going on there. we'll never know. they should just be ignored. if you don't feed the animals they WILL go away).

not that uhl was a left leaner by any means. i'm guessing (and i didn't go to med school for 8 years for nothing*) he was really pissed at this group for dissin' (they were going to say falwell was kind to gays - which of course he NEVER WAS. he even blamed them, well LESBIANS for 9/11) big jer

Liberty Student Arrested on Bomb Charges
Was to Allegedly Attend Falwell Funeral With Devices

(May 23) - A Liberty University student who told a family member he had made bombs and planned to attend the funeral of the Rev. Jerry Falwell was apparently upset about an anti-gay fringe group that protested at the funeral, authorities said......

...........Investigators determined that Uhl had problems with a group that protested at the funeral, Gaddy said. The Kansas-based Westboro Baptist Church sent about a dozen members to protest across the street from the funeral, claiming Falwell was a friend to gays. The group also has picketed soldiers' burials, claiming the deaths are God's punishment for a nation that supports homosexuality. ..............

.......Benson said Uhl was in Liberty's Army ROTC program and was studying to become an Army chaplain. Gaddy said investigators in Fauquier County were interviewing several people who had been in an ROTC program with Uhl in high school and may have been involved in making the bombs. One is now in the Army, he said......
