Liberty University Suspends Democratic Party Club

Liberty University Suspends Democratic Party Club
Quote
Liberty University has revoked its recognition of the campus Democratic Party club, saying “we are unable to lend support to a club whose parent organization stands against the moral principles held by” the university.

“It kind of happened out of nowhere,” said Brian Diaz, president of LU’s student Democratic Party organization, which LU formally recognized in October.

Diaz said he was notified of the school’s decision May 15 in an e-mail from Mark Hine, vice president of student affairs.

According to the e-mail, the club must stop using the university’s name, holding meetings on campus, or advertising events. Violators could incur one or more reprimands under the school’s Liberty Way conduct code, and anyone who accumulates 30 reprimands is subject to expulsion.

Hine said late Thursday that the university could not sanction an official club that supported Democratic candidates.

(more...)

heh.

HA! Now the Democrats get a taste of political discrimination on a college campus, like what the College Republicans have dealt with for the longest time...

Part of Hine’s e-mail said, “The Democratic Party platform is contrary to the mission of Liberty University and to Christian doctrine (supports abortion, federal funding of abortion, advocates repeal of the federal Defense of Marriage Act, promotes the “LGBT” agenda, hate crimes, which include sexual orientation and gender identity, socialism, etc.)” LGBT refers to lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people.

Ok, fair enough.  We all know the democrat party is unAmerican and vastly anti-Christian.

“My issue with this is the statement that the Democratic Party platform is contrary to the mission of Liberty University and to Christian doctrine,” Lawrence said. “They are essentially saying, ‘you cannot be a Christian and a Democrat.’”

I've been saying that for a couple of decades.

Kaine issued a statement on the letterhead of the Democratic National Committee, of which he is chairman. It said:  “I urge the leadership of Liberty University to reverse this attack on the liberty of its students and allow the College Democrats to have the same rights on campus as their counterparts, the College Republicans.“

Oh, but they DO have the same rights.  The Republican Party platform conforms to the university's policy.  The democrat party has a right to conform too.

Well, if the GOP keeps heading in the direction the blue-bloods such as Powell want to lead it, then it wont be long before the Republican club has its charter rescinded also.

Tell ya what Timmy...LU will do what you ask as soon as ROTC and College Republicans are allowed back on every single Ivy League campus and the idiots in Berkley stop harassing the same organizations.

Deal?

Indeed! The Ivy League could take a few pointers from Savannah College of Art and Design... You know what shocked me about SCAD when I got here? A very very liberal school, but they have learned to be hands off with their surprisingly active CR chapter there.  Quite a few conservatives attend that college, as I gathered from when my group and their group got together for some debates and other events.

Good for LU.  More schools need to do the same.

I'm glad to see that they are doing that.  I've only been to SCAD once...back in 96 to get a look at some new video editing system called Avid.

They didn't give very friendly looks to me standing there in my uniform.

Yep,and the CR chair there is also a female.   Something I've noticed after being elected to the chair position, when there are chairWOMEN, the CR's somehow manage to get a little more respect from the colleges... funny, that.  :mental:  :thatsright:
