This has probably been discussed in some of the other threads so if this should be merged please do so and apologies for not continuing the discussion wherever it is. I haven't followed many threads in here.

But if someone who has not tested positive for coronavirus can be charged with a terrorist threat because he licked some deodorants, couldn't the president of a university that claims, “It’s just strange to me how many are overreacting. It makes you wonder if there is a political reason for that. Impeachment didn’t work and the Mueller report didn’t work and Article 25 didn’t work, and so maybe now this is their next attempt to get Trump,” and then brings back thousands of college students to campus face some sort of legal issues?

Shockingly, a dozen students are thought to have covid-19, and I'm sure a number of cases will come out in the future weeks. Every student who made it back to campus now has to self quarantine for two weeks.

Talk about dumb and dangerous...

Falwell's Darwin award is going to be... erm... awkward.

First, I hope Falwell's idiocy and ideological war doesn't result in any of the students or employees there getting sick, dying, having lifelong lung damage, etc.

Second, if any of the above does happen, I certainly would think a lawsuit against Falwell and/or the university might have merit. He is a hateful, hurtful man who willingly used college students as pawns.

So...you're pro getting kids back into cramped dorms right now? Or just anti-facts?

Can't it be both?

Ive always been shocked that kids play D-1 sports at Liberty. BYU recruits predominantly Mormon kids so it makes sense. But the vast majority of basketball and football players at Liberty don’t seem to be super conservative Baptists. And if you’re not, the rules and restrictions at that campus seem like hell

The only thing I can think of is that maybe they dramatically relax their behavior policies for athletes...kinda like how most schools relax their academic standards if a kid can shoot a ball.

It's not like the Falwells to look the other way when someone who can benefit them financially behaves contrary to their purported values.

Liberty doesn't hold any values outside of what is best for Jerry

Jesus only made a whip and started beating people once. It's good to remember from time to time what types of people were on Jesus' "beat them with whips" list and why.

I mean, BYU certainly doesn’t, as evidenced by all the honor code violations that pop up.

But even if you get a free pass as a FB/BB players, you’re amongst a bunch of other students who chose that school knowing those regulations and likely having them align with their own. And Lynchburg is in the middle of nowhere, not like you’re partying at a diff school across town.

Just bizarre to me all around.

No sex code for young 20 somthings. Seems reasonable.
