Mandatory convocation is a feature that Liberty students (or more likely, their parents) want, rather than a problem to be addressed. It would be interesting to see a Venn Diagram of the universes of Liberty University parents who were unhinged over the notion of President Obama making a televised address to the nation's students, and those parents who are just fine with mandatory attendance at Senator Cruz's political rally. "Hey, there's only one circle on this Venn Diagram!"

A fake university mandating students attend a speech from a fake presidential candidate?

AND THAN TAKE THE BASTARDS TO COURT.

But then, you wouldn't be attending Liberty University in the first place. Those people are nuts.

of animules!! BEARS!!!

to pack the houses, "Who am I, what am I doing here?".

Where you have to attend speeches or you're fined. Hard line conservative Christians are irony-impaired.

the convocation is a required attendance event so they knew they would get a crowd this way. Otherwise it would have been him, a tumbleweed and this lady:

To review and revoke their accreditation.

So I googled and clicked on wikipedia. So the wikipedia article say LU "was listed as the 17th most searched university in the world by Google search engine users in 2014."

Now I feel used.

they can get away with even more politicking than churches do.

Sort of the same feeling all of America had when Bush handed over the screwed up treasury. It was about the same type of captured audience, only the tax payer didn’t have to go to a convocation ceremony.

The media in breaking news was the spin cycle in ugly politics, the new age convocation ceremony of breaking news.

Young men and women of Liberty University are dammed if they do or dammed if they don’t. I never had any respect for that University System and likely many more will not now. A shadow is now cast on the whole system.

In wide open conflict of the first amendment to make the arrangement around a Christian theme is similar to a person that links the name of Jesus to a nick name of Chuy. Cruz or Chuy they are both the same.

This action is the current fundamental Republican philosophy, illustrating what the Republican Cruz leadership will be.

All this accompanied by a very denigrating media that knows this distinction is persecution in the mental science. Moreover, it is not natural knowledge, but the strict sense of how expression to study the phenomena in nature now is manifest by political force.

These Republicans reveal the art of sequester again rather than reveal the art of Liberty…

It's nothing more than brainwashing school for college-age fundies.

Just googling, found this article:
