Former students at Liberty University are preparing to return their diplomas in a group protest of university president Jerry Falwell Jr.'s support for President Trump's agenda. In a group letter first reported by NPR, a small group of alumni is criticizing Falwell for supporting the president in the wake of Trump's remarks blaming "many sides" for violence at a white nationalist rally in Charlottesville, Va., last weekend. The letter slams Falwell for defending Trump's comments, specifically for his saying there were "very fine people" protesting on both sides.

So, they are turning in their diplomas to show their support for anarchists, including cop killers. Got it.

I hope Jerry has the good sense to burn those unwanted diplomas, and expunge the university’s records of their presence!

What morons!

What defines a “small group”? Is it two or three people”

They’ll hand in the paper, but they’re still going to claim the degree on their resumes. If you guys are serious, eat the cost of your education and start over from ground zero at some school that doesn’t like President Trump. You’ll find many to choose from.

That is just what I was going to say..

>> “What defines a ‘small group’?” <<

Good question!

“Undisclosed sources” probably know the answer.

I hope they list the names of these students. . .so that prospective employers or their current employers know who they are hiring or have hired. Follow these students to their parent’s home and see what’s behind the door. . .more of the same.

GREAT School... worthless 20 students.
It was Jerry Falwell Jr who came along side
Trump when alot of us Evangelicals had at first backed away..
me included. After watching and listening
more to Trump’s agenda, I agreed, and voted
for him. I support him 100% now, but
don’t knock Jerry Falwell and the school.

For some reason I had Oral Roberts in my mind. However, in looking at who Jerry Falwell was leaves something to be desired:http://www.rotten.com/library/bio/religion/televangelists/jerry-falwell/
