Falwell’s university to lose tax exempt status?

Falwell university’s tax-exempt status questioned after banning Democratic club

In a little-noticed letter to the IRS last week, Americans United for Separation of Church and State called for a formal review of the tax-exempt status of the university founded by Rev. Jerry Falwell in the wake of the school’s decision to ban a club for campus Democrats.

Liberty University, founded by the late preacher Jerry Falwell, banned a student Democratic club in May, saying that its principles were not in line with the university’s (even though the club was pro-life and is, by most accounts, moderate). Falwell’s son is now chancellor of the school.</em>

Say and do whatever ya want Liberty U, but don’t ask me to pay for it.
