Liberty University has banned the College Democrats. The university Student Affairs Vice President, Mark Hine informed the Brian Diaz, president of the College Democrats, that they could not be recognized by the school. According to Mr. Hine’s email to Mr. Diaz, the university does not support a club “whose parent organization [Democratic Party] stands against the moral principles held by the university.” Mr. Hine also went on further to say, in the email, that the Democratic Party supports abortion, socialism, and the agenda of gay, bisexual and transgender people.
This is pathetic. Students have the right to create a student organization on their campus. The school administration should not engage in the national politics. Students create clubs because they want to have a voice in their university. It is sad that the school administration doesn’t know how to differentiate church and state. Their action clearly states that students have to be Republicans in order to be considered Christians.
Face it, there are many Christians who support the Democratic Party. Why can’t the university let the College Democrats exist?
