Related: About this forumWhy I was banned from the campus of Liberty University
From the article:
These are students who have consistently expressed concern about Jerry Falwell Jr.s support of the politics of Donald Trump and Steve Bannon, especially with regards to race and the conflation of Christianity with nationalism.
The response of the university was to send five police officers to come get me out of Johnnyswims greenroom on Monday night (Oct. 30) after the show, escort me outside, photograph me, and tell me I was barred from the campus for life subject to arrest if I ever put one foot on the property.
Falwell openly encourages his students to carry guns, but fears public prayer from Christians who openly embrace nonviolence.

A private institution, with the legal right to admit or deny who it chooses, but an interesting example.

(49,533 posts)Just not the institutions that g-man says don't have that right.
Lordquinton
(7,886 posts)Even if something is legal.
trotsky
(49,533 posts)If guillaumeb approves of it, then it's OK.
If he doesn't, it's not.
QED
Lordquinton
(7,886 posts)Then we could truly know.
guillaumeb
(42,641 posts)If so, what does the law say?
Lordquinton
(7,886 posts)Can you clarify?
guillaumeb
(42,641 posts)I do not understand what it is that you do not understand.
Lordquinton
(7,886 posts)What framing are you using here, and how is it different from the issue asked about down thread?
guillaumeb
(42,641 posts)Lordquinton
(7,886 posts)at this point it has to be intentional.
Sad, pathetic attempt at framing.

They sure don't have to worry about me, though. I would never set foot on that property. It's apparently full of hateful people, and I try very hard to avoid those.
guillaumeb
(42,641 posts)As to this particular case, if it is private property one assumes that property rights apply.

(9,116 posts)You mean like atheist groups in Boston that choose not to associate with Trump supporters? Or is that totes different because reasons?
trotsky
(49,533 posts)guillaumeb
(42,641 posts)that was not founded as a group exclusively for Democrats? That group?
Act_of_Reparation
(9,116 posts)But unless I am mistaken, the law doesn't care.
Lordquinton
(7,886 posts)"what does the law say?"
Can't even be consistent in the same thread?
guillaumeb
(42,641 posts)Do you understand that you are confusing the 2 things?
trotsky
(49,533 posts)Does a private Boston atheists group need to tolerate a disruptive Trump supporter?
Well, is it against the law for them to kick anyone out of their group? No, it is not.
QED.
Lordquinton
(7,886 posts)So intolerance and intolerance are two separate issues?
guillaumeb
(42,641 posts)That should be obvious.
Lordquinton
(7,886 posts)but religious and hate groups are merely acting within the law?
You are so transparent.
guillaumeb
(42,641 posts)but intolerance is universal. As I have written numerous times.
Lordquinton
(7,886 posts)Transparent as they are.

(14,857 posts)Gil told us one side of the story - that of the guy who got booted. There is no evidence or corroboration for any of it. We know how honest and trustworthy Trump supporters are. It's entirely possible the guy was lying about the whole thing.
guillaumeb
(42,641 posts)Mariana
(14,857 posts)You certainly never linked to any kind of corroboration of his story. You're still asking us to take this one Trump supporter's word as gospel (so to speak) with zero evidence that he's telling the truth.
guillaumeb
(42,641 posts)No need for a repeat here.
trotsky
(49,533 posts)It's still fun for the rest of us to point and laugh, however.
trotsky
(49,533 posts)and supporting Trump was just the last straw. We don't know, but Gil says we should trust him. A Trump fan.
