Falwell Asks College Democrats to Apologize for being Kicked Off Campus

(Don't get mad, get motivated. Do something about this today! - promoted by Matt Glazer)

After a conference call with the officers of the College Democrats at Liberty University yesterday, Chancellor Falwell asked students to apologize for saying they were kicked off campus. After much national outrage at Liberty's actions, they are the ones now demanding that students apologize to them.
In addition to emphasizing how the students are not allowed to organize anymore, Chancellor Falwell stated that the group's affiliation with the Democratic National Committee is one of the main reasons the student organization was revoked.

The College Democrats of America are launching an email campaign to let Chancellor Falwell know that we stand behind the right to free speech and represent religious and political values.

The College Democrats of America sent this out last night:

Today the members of the Liberty University College Democrats met with Chancellor Falwell. Currently the administration is standing behind their decision from last week to suspend the college democrats from their campus for their affiliation with CDA and the DNC. We are working closely to assist our fellow Democrats through negotiations with administrators. We are asking that you help the College Democrats at Liberty University by sending the following e-mail to Chancellor Falwell. Together we can send a message that democrats come in every shape, size, color, and religion.

Please share this e-mail with your chapter members, friends and supporters of College Democrats. We hope to send as many e-mails as possible to clearly show our support for the College Democrats right to exist at Liberty University.

Please send an e-mail now!
Katie Naranjo & The CDA National Executive Board

Dear Chancellor Falwell,

Last week you suspended the chapter of College Democrats at Liberty University. As a student at _________ I am deeply concerned by this decision. The students at Liberty University are dedicated to their Christian beliefs, ideals, values, and candidates represented by the Democratic Party. Limiting their participation and the discourse on your campus will diminish the quality of education for students and the credibility of your institution. We hope you decide to rescind your decision, as a student's right to support a political candidate or cause should not stop at the campus gates.

Respectfully,
(name)

1. Typical ............
Glenn Beck demanded an apology from the ladies on The View who outed him as the sleazy liar that he is. And he admitted to it on the show!

2. Here's my letter.
Dear Reverend Hypocrite.

Fuck you for kicking off College Democrats. It shows where you lean, and I hope your college goes unaccredited for the rest of its pathetic life.

Sincerely,

A Democrat.

7. I can't imagine being a College Democrat at Liberty University.....
..... then again, College Republicans probably say the same thing about the University of Michigan.

13. I don't know why a democrat would want to be at Liberty U anyway.
Let them all transfer somewhere else where they can receiver a proper education.
