Isn't Liberty like 40k to 50k students? Why only 10% returning?

1. It's still online only learning

2. They've given students the OPTION of coming back to campus

3. This is only for the residence halls

4. The actual physical location/campus only has like 15,000 students, the rest are all "online" students normally.

So they actually are obeying the dirty liberal ideas of social distancing but trying to make it look like they aren't?

Who actually consumes this propaganda?

If they are the intellectual elite of Lynchburg, I don’t want to meet the dumb people.

Yet the liberals here fail to mention Va Tech has 900 ish students on campus and UVA has 300 ish. Only reason this maters is Liberty University is a "Christian" institution. You people are sad.

Dude, shut your trap. If you're that sure of yourself. What are your credentials? (if you have any)

Where's your argument (if you have one)

The more snowflakes line up against me, the better I look. Are hurt feelings really the only rebuttal? Looks that way.

Of course it is, and of course students are back on campus. Freakin' ridiculous. We can count on Liberty University and other like "Christian" universities to politicize a virus. While when push comes to shove, I wouldn't wish hell on anyone, sometimes part of me wishes hell was a real place. MANY people at Liberty University would be going there for sure.

#tolerance #coexist

I tolerate people at Liberty University. I'll gladly tell them all, "I tolerate you." I did say that I wouldn't wish hell on anyone. Hell doesn't exist except as a concept during LIVING...not a place to go after death. My hell, for example, would be having to hear Old Town Road one more f*cking time.

It is stupid and dangerous to politicize this virus though, so currently Liberty University is showing stupidity and being dangerous. Deserving of being called out.

No, Bad Wiggins, your name will be forever connected to sheer drooling ignorance, along with all the rest of the deniers. No one is going to forget your world-class stupidity.

What was it you said? 2600 cases max?

Please explain, flagpool, how they are politicizing this? Give me specific, politically motivated details. Heres the thing: they are doing THE EXACT SAME THING THAT UVA AND TECH ARE DOING! I dont see you calling those schools out. Oh, wait, thats because you are a HYPOCRITE who doesnt tolerate Christianity.

Yet somehow we all have to put up with you. Pathetic.

No, Liberty University is NOT doing the same thing. UVA is telling students not to return to campus other than to quickly get belongings and then leave.

There is no earthly reason for Liberty University to open the campus back up...dorms are open, All the buildings, the gym, everything is open. The ONLY reason they aren't having classes is because the state of Virginia said there can't be gatherings of more than 10. It's all ridiculous.

Here is what a-hole Jerry Falwell Jr. said - “I think we have a responsibility to our students — who paid to be here, who want to be here, who love it here — to give them the ability to be with their friends, to continue their studies, enjoy the room and board they’ve already paid for and to not interrupt their college life,” Falwell Jr. said.

Crazy. What he should be doing is what most other colleges are doing...kicking students out and giving prorated refunds on room and board.

I TOLERATE people at Liberty University, but just barely. I would never befriend anyone with the values espoused there, because it is all hateful crap. Christianity has many stripes, and the crap that is put forth and lapped up by students at that hateful college is a pox on Christianity. Christians didn't used to be so hateful and nutso. It's a shame, because there are good lessons within Christianity. Places like Liberty University have really f*cked up a once good thing.

From VT:

"Only about 900 to 1,000 of Tech’s on-campus-housed population of 10,400 students are likely to return to university housing when online classes begin Monday, according to a Tech spokesman. Tech has allowed only students who need to remain on campus to return — such as those who have an immuno-compromised family member at home, or who do not have home internet access."

From UVA:

The school set out three specific guidelines for remaining on Grounds in an email sent out Tuesday:

1 - International students who are unable to secure travel to return home due to travel restrictions;

2 - Persons who are homeless but for their on-Grounds residence (i.e. undergraduate/graduate students for whom on-Grounds housing is their only residence); or

3 - Persons who have an existing severe health or safety risk that prevents them from returning home."

So, once again, YOU ARE WRONG, Flagpool. There are about the same number of students on UVA, VT, and LU. Please just admit you hate Christians and are a hypocrite. At least be honest.

You’re right. Somewhere along the way Christianity was mixed with right wing extremism. However....

Jesus was anti war

Jesus said to obey the governing authorities

Jesus said to pay taxes

Jesus said to love enemies

Jesus said to bless those that curse you

Jesus said the wealthy will have a hard time following him

Jesus said to bless the poor

None of that sounds like right wing “Christians”

To them Jesus said..,

Get a gun

Fight wars

Get rich at the expense of the poor

Hate liberals

The government is evil

Don’t pay taxes

No. Not wrong. Liberty University has a very different take on this and isn't limiting those who can come back to international students or those with a sick person at home.

The brand of Christianity preached at the top at Liberty University is abhorrent and should be called something else other than Christianity. I have great respect for Christianity and many Christians, but not those who espouse the crap that goes on at Liberty University.

CORRECT! You did forget in your second list though - hate foreigners, especially if they look different than you.

Flagpole is right. The weird LU defenders need to find a new forum. We don't like big mad low information folks

In so many ways this feels spot on. However, I think those are often the people who need someone like Jesus in their life the most. We all lose focus. Maybe they go to church and really want to live in a way Jesus would, but then they leave church and lose touch with that and take part in that list starting with get a gun. I mean truly, can anyone imagine Jesus owning a gun today? You've got to be kidding me. Granted, superpowers and all that might quell your fears.

Ultimately, it should be understood that the people who follow Christ will often be nearly the opposite of what He was all about. But that's the whole point of them following Jesus. They are trying to stop being idiots. You have to applaud them for that much.

I would love to have a beer or six with Jesus, Marshawn Lynch and Mike Tyson. This would be absolutely amazing.

If Liberty wants to take liberties with the truth, you could at least argue that it’s a humorously ironic proper noun.

Can anyone name the author of the post below?

I very well could get swine flu. I'm not denying the possibility or even calling it a remote one. Taking reasonable precautions is a good idea. Being crazy about it isn't. If I were 86 years old and in poor health right now, I might consider loading up on enough canned and dry goods to get me through a couple months, and if I had a newborn baby at home, I'd probably not take the baby out of the house or bring anyone around for a while until this flu has run its course. Other than that though, I don't think people need to be crazy. Did SARS do what they said it would? The last bout of avian flu was supposed to decimate us but it didn't.

The letdown is already palpable.

Leftists are happy that social distancing is working and fewer people will die. Quite the opposite of a letdown.
