This is the logical next step in the Republican/evangelical playbook to erode institutions. Get rid of the thousand year old western liberal arts education. An electorate composed of well rounded thinkers is not compatible with their goals.

The Trumpkin hoard will buy it because of the word "liberal." Billionaires don't want people questioning them anyway.

It's Liberty today, aggy tomorrow, someday UT.

Exactly.  Liberty's mission is to teach its sheep what to think, not how to think.

First reference is to Jim Baker and his prepper endtimes food. It's a drum of potato soup, but think of it as cheap freeze dried potato flakes that you water down into soup. You would think that after having an affair, crying on television, going to prison, and getting out he would stop trying to scam people, but the grift is a gift from God I guess.

Second reference is to the Peter Popoff's Miracle Spring Water.

Quote

Morningside USA was supposed to be apocalypse-proof. 

A gated, stucco fortress in the southwest corner of Missouri’s Ozark mountains, Morningside is an evangelical Christian community built to rent condos right through the end of the world.

“Where are you going to go when the world's on fire? Where are you going to go? This place is for God's people and this place, we need some farmers to move here,” Morningside’s founder, the disgraced doomsday televangelist Jim Bakker, said in a May 2018 sermon. “Did you know people from the government, from NASA, research from so many of them, they have said in their research, the safest place to live in troubled times is right here?”  

 

 

Quote

Morningside is the name of Bakker’s Christian broadcasting empire, as well as the Missouri residential community from which he broadcasts. But it’s mostly made news in recent weeks because of its founder’s legal woes: various government agencies have accused Bakker of promoting a fake COVID-19 miracle cure. 

So what does the coronavirus pandemic look like in this temple of survival? According to interviews with people who have recently lived, worked, and spent time there, pretty much the same waking nightmare as everywhere else: mixed efforts at social distancing, layoffs, and reported shortages of everyday supplies as COVID-19 ravages the country.

 

Quote

A former Morningside employee who spoke on the condition of anonymity because she hoped to return to her job as the pandemic eased said she was among a wave of layoffs as the community entered lockdown in late March.

“They were running out of supplies they had stocked up on when I was leaving there,” said the former employee, who argued Bakker was being vilified in the media. 

Neither Morningside nor a Bakker representative returned requests for comment for this story.

 

Spoiler

The story of Morningside’s development involves two failed historical theme parks and two dozen criminal charges. Bakker, now 80, was a star of the 1980s televangelist scene and even expanded into a biblical theme park until feds convicted him of an elaborate scheme to illegally skim millions off the amusement park. A former church secretary also accused him of sexually assaulting her and buying her silence, although he claimed to have only had consensual extramarital sex with her, and was never charged. 

Twenty-four convictions on fraud and conspiracy charges in the amusement park scandal and four years in prison later, Bakker was released from lockup in 1994. By 2003, he’d returned to broadcast ministry, this time with an eye on the end-times. He preached the apocalypse and used a loophole in non-profit law to hawk survivalist gear like supposed health supplements and giant buckets of shelf-stable food. 

“Imagine,” one of Bakker’s emergency food ads said, “the world is dying and you're having a breakfast for kings.” (Because his ministry is technically a nonprofit, Bakker does not “sell” his goods; he offers them as “love gifts” to people who make specific donations, like $4,500 for a “Peace of Mind Final Countdown” bundle that contained 31,000 servings of food in a variety of buckets.) 

In 2008, he opened Morningside, a church complex/Christian broadcast studio/evangelical utopia on the former site of a follower’s Renaissance faire-themed amusement park. It was the ultimate survivalist sales pitch: Bakker claimed it could withstand an imminent apocalypse, and offered a variety of dwellings onsite. Higher-end homes included condos overlooking a shopping mall-like central meeting area, which also featured a chapel, a General Store, a cafe, and a 15-foot statue of Jesus. 

Would-be survivalists could also live in something called a “dome home,” a hemispherical concrete structure that Morningside advertises thus: “In 2003, a monolithic dome government building in Iraq survived a direct hit by a 5,000 pound bomb.”

But for all its disaster preparedness talk, Morningside appears to have faced many of the same coronavirus inconveniences as the outside world. 

Susie Ruiz, a longtime Morningside resident who recently sold her condo there, said the restaurant had converted to takeout-only during the pandemic and that the General Store—which sells canned foods and religious tchotchkes—had placed markers on the floor six feet apart to encourage social distancing.

Pam Burnett, administrator of Stone County Health Department, which oversees Morningside USA, said the county only had three confirmed cases of the novel coronavirus. Residents in the rural county might have an easier time maintaining a healthy distance than those in larger cities, she said. And while she declined to comment on Morningside, she noted residents in close quarters can protect themselves by washing their hands, wearing face masks, and keeping apart when possible.

Of course, social distancing can come as a blow to a close-knit community like Morningside.

“I was just down there a couple days ago and they have prayer teams,” Ruiz said. “It’s always been a place where people volunteered. There’s a sense of community, not like a compound, not like a cult, but just like any senior place, where you have all these people congregate. There’s Movie Night on Saturday. They’ve got Game Night. They’ve got exercise classes, stuff like that. There’s just a pulling-together, a sense of community.”

One of the biggest threats to traditions like Game Night is not the coronavirus but Bakker’s own legal and financial worries. The televangelist made headlines in March when the Federal Trade Commission, the Food and Drug Administration, and state officials in New York and Missouri slapped him for allegedly promoting a bogus coronavirus “cure” on his TV show. The so-called “Silver Solution” was touted as a salve for COVID-19, SARS, HIV, and other ailments. Bakker denied the allegations in a filing on Monday. He is being represented by former Missouri Governor Jay Nixon, and is also facing a class-action lawsuit by a Missouri resident for his alleged promotion of the Silver Solution. His lawyers declined to comment on the lawsuit earlier this week.

As a result of his legal woes, Bakker claimed to have been cut off from credit card processing companies. In mid-April, he began begging followers to send physical checks, suggesting his legal fight was so expensive that he’d have to sell parts of Morningside unless his followers sent more money.

“I’m just sad to see what’s happening to America,” Bakker said in an April broadcast, according to Right Wing Watch. “We are living in the final days, and if we go the wrong direction, America is through. You have to use a check [for donations and purchases]. Your products are going to come to you. Every one of them will come right to your house, and if we can’t, we are going to refund. I will sell parts of the buildings at Morningside in the long run if you give me a chance. Don’t let me have to file for bankruptcy.”

Morningside appeared to be saving some money the way many American businesses are: cutting its staff. The recently laid-off employee said she was among many workers to lose their jobs when Morningside started practicing social distancing measures, like having its televangelist hosts film programs from home.

“They had to let go of pretty much everyone except essential workers who were helping with production of the show who were essential like video editors or camera guys, or guys who worked in shipping,” she said.

During at least one previous disaster, Ruiz said, the General Store sustained Morningside through food precarity. Although Bakker now sells portable generators for $1,090, Morningside initially lacked a backup generator shortly after she moved there in 2008, she recalled.

That winter, “we had an ice storm,” she said. “Everything was shut down, but it was one of the coolest times because we all hunkered down in the main part of the building … Pastor Jim was a super generous guy. He opened up the General Store and oh my goodness, we were eating like we were on death row. We were having ice-cream and whatever. It was really cool. Eventually they got a generator that turned the lights on just for the inside of the building and then they got a bigger generator for the whole building.”

Those were Morningside’s early, sparsely populated days. A 2018 article said the population had since expanded to more than 70 full-time residents, with plans to grow above 2,000.

The former employee wasn’t sure whether Morningside had been able to restock on essential goods since she left. (Lori’s House, a Morningside home for expectant mothers, recently put out a call for baby products.) And for all its associations with disaster-food buckets, Morningside doesn’t hold the main stockpile, the former employee noted. The buckets are not assembled in Morningside, but purchased from the Utah-based Augason Farms bulk food company, which often ships them directly to Bakker’s customers.

The General Store, “did have some of the food buckets they sell still there, but it’s mostly shipped out from places that aren’t at Morningside,” the former worker said. “If you order online, it comes from Augason Farms. It doesn’t go to Morningside.”

As for the allegations that Bakker fraudulently peddled a Silver Solution miracle cure, the former employee claimed Bakker uses the products himself. “Pastor Jim's always been a believer in being prepared,” she said. “He wouldn’t endorse something he didn’t believe in and use himself. Everything he sells, I've seen him use. I've seen him use silver on a daily basis.”

Ruiz, who attended a different church than Bakker’s despite living at Morningside, said not to conflate the locals with the man who made the community famous. (While she was living there, people told her Morningside “can come off ‘like a compound,’” she said.)

“Give me a break,” Ruiz added. “It’s a place where people live, and then there’s Jim Bakker.”

I wholly disagree.  Jerry has been on the record saying consistently, he will only take 6" of cock on his face, not 7".  The bible was very specific with its use of a never-before-heard-of unit of length.

Not sure what they were thinking signing with a conservative evangelical (is that redundant?) school in a town named Lynchburg in the first place...

Quote

Liberty corners Tayvion Land and Kei’Trel Clark have announced they are transferring from Liberty University.


Land stated, “My short time spent with the athletic department and most professors at Liberty University was much appreciated as it helped me improve my skills ,gain new experiences, and meet a diverse group of friends. Unfortunately, due to the racial insensitivity displayed by leadership at Liberty University, I have decided to enter my name into the transfer portal and no longer be a student-athlete at Liberty University. I pray that I am able to be provided with a opportunity at a new school that respects my culture and provides a comfortable environment. Bless it! #BLM”

Clark stated, “I have decided to enter my  name into the transfer portal and I will no longer be attending Liberty University. This decision has been well thought out and prayed on. This decision is simply bigger than football or the program. The program, staff, and teammates were a complete blessing to my life. Over this year I have developed relationships that I will forever cherish and bonds that will not be broken. However due to the cultural incompetent within multiple levels of leadership, it does not line up with my code of ethics. So therefore I had to do what I felt like was right in my heart and I pray that you support me and pray for me as I find a new home to further my education and football career. Thank you! #BLM”

Land and Clark are both rising sophomores who were part of Coach Freeze’s first recruiting class at Liberty. Land is the highest rated recruit in school history, joining the program as a 4-star rated prospect. He played in 11 games as a true freshman last season, including starter at nickel, and finished with 23 tackles.

Clark developed into a starter at corner as a true freshman in 2019. He played in all 13 games, recording 38 tackles, 3 TFLs, 1 sack, 6 PBUs, and 1 blocked kick.

Both were expected to start in 2020.


Their decision comes on the heels of Liberty women’s basketball player Asia Todd who transferred, also citing racial insensitivities.

Faced with outrage from black alumni and the resignation of at least three African American staffers, Liberty University President Jerry Falwell Jr. has deleted and apologized for a two-week-old tweet that showed a face mask decorated with a photo of a person in Ku Klux Klan robes and another in blackface.

The images were intended to mock the mask requirement implemented by Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam (D), who nearly resigned from his office last year amid revelations that the racist photo had been featured on his medical school yearbook page.

But it upset many of the African American students, staff and alumni at Liberty, which was founded in Lynchburg, Va., in 1971 by Falwell’s father, Jerry Falwell Sr., and is one of the largest Christian universities in the world.

LeeQuan McLaurin, who began as a student at Liberty in 2012 and has worked there since, resigned from his position as director of diversity retention last week. He said in an email that Falwell’s tweet on May 27 was a tipping point of larger racially related problems that he has experienced at the school, which he said have contributed to a drop in Liberty’s residential undergraduate African American population from 10 percent to 4 percent between 2007 and 2018.

AD

“Some draw a direct line between the start of President Falwell’s divisive, insensitive, and unapologetic approach to politics and that drop,” he wrote in the email. Since President Trump’s campaign, Falwell has been one of his most prominent evangelical supporters.

On Monday, Falwell apologized for his tweet after meeting with African American board members and some alumni, including former NFL athlete Rashad Jennings, who played college football at Liberty. Falwell tweeted that he wanted to remind people of the 2019 scandal in which Northam denied that the photo was his but admitted to wearing blackface on another occasion decades ago.

“I actually refreshed the trauma that image had caused and offended some by using the image to make a political point. Based on our long relationships, they uniformly understood this was not my intent, but because it was the result,” Falwell wrote on Twitter. “I have deleted the tweet and apologize for any hurt my effort caused, especially within the African American community.”

 

Following his apology, Falwell said in an interview that he was unaware of McLaurin’s resignation, as well as the resignation of another black staff member, Keyvon Scott, who was an online admissions counselor.

“I cannot in good faith encourage people to attend a school with racially insensitive leadership and culture,” Scott wrote on Twitter. He could not be reached for comment.

Falwell dismissed staff departures, saying that the university has 9,000 employees. His wife, Becki, added that the school’s human resources department told her that about 35 people stop working for the university each week.

Falwell said he did not know what percentage of residential students at Liberty are African American. Of about 79,000 students enrolled at the university in fall 2018, including students studying on campus and those studying online, 15 percent were black or African American, federal data show.

 

In the interview, Falwell was dismissive of a letter signed by 35 black alumni who asked him to remove his tweet, saying it was a small percentage among 360,000 graduates of the school.

“The tweet was aimed at the governor,” he said. “It accidentally offended them.”

Christopher House, an online instructor for the university’s school of communications and the arts, also resigned from his position after Falwell’s tweet. House, who is African American, said he likens Falwell’s apology to that of New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees, who recently apologized after his comments about NFL athletes kneeling during the national anthem provoked a firestorm of criticism from fellow players.

“What concrete action will we see to help the recruitment and retention and valuing of black faculty members?” said House, who is also a tenured professor at Ithaca College. “What development of courses or programs will aid in understanding the construction of race and these hurtful images?”

 

A fourth African American staffer, Thomas Starchia, also resigned in recent days, but it was not clear why, and he could not be reached for comment.

A different Liberty staff member, who is African American and spoke on the condition of anonymity because she feared she would lose her job, said Falwell’s tweets were “a cherry on top” of other race-related issues at the school.

“It seemed like once donors said I’m not going to put money into your university, that’s when he says, ‘I’m sorry, I apologize,’ ” she said. “It’s too late!”

Staff members, she said, fear losing their jobs, and faculty do not receive tenure.

“You know how back in the slavery days, black people would disobey? Or they would go against the master? They get whooped for it. They would lose a limb. That limb is you losing your job,” she said. “It’s like, ‘Sit down, shut up and do your job.’ You lose your job, lose your benefits.”

 

As director of diversity retention, McLaurin was responsible for retaining underrepresented student populations, overseeing cultural awareness for events honoring Hispanic Heritage Month, Black History Month and Women’s History Month.

McLaurin said the diversity office was moved from a prominent spot in the Montview Student Union, where the office had an overabundance of traffic, to a smaller and less accessible space in Montview. Then in April, it was relocated to a space too small to host events, in an area that is rarely frequented by his target student demographic.

“DIRT Talks” that his office sponsored, on topics such as immigration, the #MeToo movement and general discussions about diversity, equity and inclusion, were eliminated, McLaurin said.

In his resignation letter, McLaurin took issue with Greg Dowell, Liberty’s chief diversity officer, who is also black, saying that he has “worked to actively denigrate and work against” minority populations. Dowell said that “was way out of line and off base,” citing his record of working for the school on diversity issues from 1989 to 2000 and returning in 2018.

 

McLaurin posted an image stating “black lives matter” on official campus communications social media outlets, and Dowell said he had him take it down, encouraging him to put it on his personal page.

“From the university’s standpoint, Black Lives Matter means different things to different people,” Dowell said in an interview Monday. “I don’t want to speak for everyone.”

Took you two weeks to delete a KKK-ridden tweet during the most pivotal era for African Americans in this nation in 50 years?  How exactly are you considered a Christian?

I seriously can't imagine why anyone would want to be faculty at Liberty.  Beyond the craziness, they don't even grant tenure.

I watched some very helpful youtube vids from a professor there on a topic I needed some side knowledge on. Checked his website and he said he doesn't work there anymore earlier this year

The job market at least in my corner of academia has been terrible since 2008. Any full-time position can start to look appealing compared to the piecemeal adjunct life. Crazy with salary and benefits has its appeal, even with year-to-year contracts.

True, and Liberty has been/is getting rid of STEM fields (where the academic job markets aren't terrible) because the Bible says not to believe in science.
