I blogged a few months ago about how Liberty “University” had officially terminated the organization, Liberty University College Democrats on account that they felt the Democratic Party didn’t reflect their school’s values. Well now Brian Diaz, the former president of the organization talks about being forced to resign:
Although I have put in a tremendous amount of work this past year, I believe that based on the dismissal of Maria Childress as our club sponsor, as well as an email from the administration to me stating that, “You are distorting the truth, and you know it. You have no credibility with me” forces me to resign as club President and look for other educational opportunities by the means of transferring to a new institution.
I do not wish to speak badly about the Liberty; I only wish to be apart of an institution that fosters diversity within its student body. I am deeply saddened by this decision but I feel that with the present administration the Liberty University College Democrats cannot be effective.
I hope that I can transfer to an institution this coming fall that will continue to help me develop my education, bipartisanship, and leadership skills. I will be applying to a number of schools including Virginia Commonwealth University, Randolph College, and a number of other universities across the Commonwealth.
Liberty “University” apparently taught him to seek an education elsewhere, where diversity of ideas is actually welcomed instead of only accepting Jerry Falwell’s ideas.
