Liberty University Hit with Class Action Lawsuit

Source: Politicalwire

Liberty University students filed a class action lawsuit against the school alleging that the university and it’s president, Jerry Falwell Jr., placed “students at severe physical risk and refused to refund thousands of dollars in fees owed to them for the Spring 2020 semester,” the New York Times reports.

Falwell downplayed the pandemic for weeks before finally announcing a shift to online instruction in late March. However, the school invited students to stay in its residence halls and will only give students a $1,000 credit if the leave campus.

The Republicons were looking for a flock of sheep followers to adopt, how simple was that to do......

Think about it, all these religious right bible thumpers following the most unGODly person in America.

Is that Ironic, or what.......go figure.......Duh

No respect for the direct hot-line Falwell has with Dog? This is tantamount to slapping Dog in the face, don't they understand that? It would be like Catholics kicking the Pope in the nuts.

There's trouble in paradise, my friends.

You could take all the true Christianity in Liberty University and put it in a bug's navel and have room left over for Falwell's soul.

we supplied material for the Thomas Road Baptist Church. The company was never paid, and Jerry Falwell basically dared it to sue the church. The boss was possibly a real Christian and let it go as a loss.

Why anyone would do any work for these grifters is beyond me. My Dad, who was a New York State Judge, used to tell me stories about millionaires who would never pay their bills. They'd bury everyone in legal paperwork (I guess they actually paid their lawyers) until they were so frustrated they'd drop the charges. I guess that's how they got to be millionaires?

Falwell is too damn cheap to give the students the appropriate refund for their room and board.
