Some Liberty University Grads Are Returning Their Diplomas To Protest Trump

what's a military grade weapon? I hear that a lot, generally from people who really have no clue what they are talking about but figures it makes the firearms in question sound more "evil" or "sinister". The 100 year old 1911 my long gone grandfather carried while earning the DSC and the CdG in France, 1918 was clearly a weapon of war-as the ghosts of a couple dead Germans could attest to but the 26 shot Czechmate 9 mm major unlimited Race gun I shoot at Grandmaster levels and with which I can hit 20 targets in less than 5 seconds is NOT a military grade weapon

You won't like this and will argue it, but one example, and I have checked with Washington State police, your oh so common AR-15 is a "military grade" weapon. There are many more. And many in the US also classify it as an "assault weapon"

Have a nice day.

It just shows how stupid college graduates have become.

These people worked for four years for the diploma, and because they don't like somebody's opinion, they are going to throw it away.

It seems to be the height of stupidity.

Hysteria had infested our culture. I wish we could get over it.

Not going to argue your view on Liberty or Regents. But what do you think of Christian based universities that are well respected.

Georgetown
Xavier University of Ohio
SMU
Notre Dame
Emmanuel College
etc

Both of my daughters were raised without the presence of religion. Both are spiritual, but neither is religious. I am a recovering Catholic. Raised staunch Irish Catholic. I was simply not going to raise my girls that way.

Ironically, both my daughters chose a Jesuit University (Seattle U). The older is now working in the ER at a major hospital as an RN, the younger is in her last year in Business school.

They both have gotten a superb education. While they had to take a small amount of theology, they both said it was no big deal.

The Jesuit philosophy is fundamentally solid. Their goal is that every single student graduates with critical thinking skills. That in my opinion, is 90% of the battle.

Stupid. They can give back those pieces of paper all that they want. But I'll bet that they will still list that school as having graduated from on a job application. Nothing more than show, no substance.

Also should note that maybe they should re-attend school if they think that Trump doing the right thing, condemning everyone that committed violence, was the wrong thing to do. I just hope that they pick a school that teaches them critical thinking skills. Many seem to lack that in today's political atmosphere.

It is more than a lot of so called adults do. How many US "adults" work to have their war criminal administrations face justice?

They must have changed a great deal. Their motto was, "Give me a child until he is seven and I will give you the man".

What was 'stupid' was those ****ing morons adopting the leftist bull**** that the condemnation of Antifa must somehow equate to a defense of nazis. I'm AMAZED at how many stupid ****ers believe that and how many parrot it. But those people should absolutely stand by their words and completely have their diplomas rescinded and invalidated.

LOL that is idiotic because

1) the term has no meaning (lots of AR 15s use Mil spec parts, some don't but none have been issued to any military force I am aware of-can you find one)

2) wiki and your sources are worthless

Oh...Im not pissed. And I like knowing that reasonable people like you arent stupid enough to believe that condemning Antifa = excusing Nazis. Its comforting knowing that not ever left leaning individual is a mindless leftist twat.

If by "more" you mean putting forth a show. Because that is all this is.

There's a world of difference between their aproach in a Jesuit grammar school and a Jesuit University

History is not important on either side.

What is important is how they act today and AntiFa exists only to hurt people and destroy private property.

Antifa exists to stand up against the rise of Naziism in Europe and America. Hitler started with only 45 Nazis.

No it doesnt. Its exists to perpetuate their own ideology with violence. EVERYTHING they dont agree with is Naziism. According to them.

I don't care. I put more stock in the thousands who contribute to Wiki than anyone on this board.


You asked, I produced even though you don't accept the source (kind of a Trump thing to do actually), so just remember the next time you try to bull**** that I produced and you NEVER do.

Have a nice day and hug your assault rifle

I don't own any assault rifles but you pretty much have proven you really have no understanding of this issue or any issues involving firearms.

Sure it does.

I would bet that most of the people involved with that group are only there so they can destroy private property with impunity.

They are just Nazis on the other end of the spectrum. They use violence to stop those that disagree with them from speaking. They are against free speech. They are enemies of this country.

Antifa aside, I'll ask some questions. Should counter-Nazis get out, and demonstrate, when the Neo-Nazis and White Supremacists are planning one of their racist rallies? If your answer is YES, they have a right to free speech, and their voices serve a purpose, then I would ask the next question. Should the counter-Nazis have people with them, who have the ability to defend themselves? After all, the Neo-Nazis and White Supremacists are known to be violent.

These are students who have graduated.

They are not the problem of the school anymore.

Well yeah, they already graduated, but they are the alumni who are being looked up by the present students. They are the role models and the inspiration of the university students. What influence do you think these graduates could teach them? Discard their diploma for their political opinion and views? What do you think the reason why these graduates discarded their diplomas for? For their personal satisfaction? Of course not, this is to show revolution. This is to inform the school that their president choice of candidacy is irrational, wrong, and unpleasing.

Graduates of this popular Christian University are at odds with Jerry Falwell, Jr alignment with Trump.

Some Liberty Univ. Grads Returning Diplomas To Protest Trump, Jerry Falwell Jr. : NPR

A group of alumni from one of the country's most influential evangelical Christian universities is condemning their school's president for his continued alignment with President Trump.

A small but growing number of Liberty University graduates are preparing to return diplomas to their school. The graduates are protesting university President Jerry Falwell Jr.'s ongoing support for Trump. They began organizing after Trump's divisive remarks about the deadly white supremacist protests in Charlottesville, Va.

Seems pretty dumb.

Perhaps you should read what David Dukes of the KKK had to say about Trump's "many sides" comment. A NeoNazi blatantly murders people, and Trump starts blaming others. Sounds like 1930s Third Reich propaganda. Yes, David Dukes was encouraged.

just because duke fent encouraged does not mean trump encouraged him.
