Apparently not.

Well educated people don't make blanket judgments.

But some apparently do believe in non science based bunk.. like how only legitimate rape can result in a pregnancy.

This guy is supposedly "well educated", and according to him, this is what some doctors told him.

Yikes! I'd ask to have my kids moved to another class.

Liberty degrees are trash.

If you're discriminating against Liberty grads because you think (wrongly) that they don't possess "critical thinking" skills, you're in the extreme minority.

But please, keep telling us what a smart atheist you are.

They are required to take creationism as a class. If they accept this and continue along their "educational" path, then yes, I take issue with that. I would not hire someone who exercised such poor judgment and exhibited such lack of critical thinking.

I find it embarrassing to live in the same state as that "school."

I would not hire anyone with that on their resume (legal practice).

They seem to think of it as Harvard for Evangelicals - always posting photos of every visit, wearing T-shirts, “checking in” on Facebook when they’re there. To each his own but it makes me sad to think of how much money they’ve spent on that tuition.

Do you think they might be sad about how you spend your money?

Well, my kids are at real schools on scholarships so no. Maybe they’re sad that my children aren’t getting a “Christian” “education” though. Leave it to DCUM to find a way to be offended by someone being sad that someone is being taken advantage of.

How are they being taken advantage of? I worked with a teacher who went there (public school) He was great guy and an awesome teacher. I don’t think attending Liberty has hurt his career any.

They are being taken advantage of by right-wing fundamentalist nutjobs who not only reject established science, but use the Bible as if it were a scientific text.

If that isn't reflective of a con job, I don't know what is.

Same. If I have 600 resumes to look through, these are easy cuts. What if the resumes were great besides the school, you say? Well, they NEVER are. They most often look like they were written up by a 2nd grader with about 100 words and no formatting and less than zero substance. I have a very, very low opinion of the school for many reasons.

I doubt you’re in a position to review any resumes, let alone hire anybody.

Why? Of course I am. Most people are by the time they're Managers or above in almost any organization. What a bizarre comment.

Sometimes people have to regurgitate something they don’t believe, just to get through a hurdle. My friend’s son is finding that out right now as he tries to pass NSL Gov for the third time so he can graduate HS.

I disagree with their politics and policies, but they provide the scholarships to turn a number of poor kids with few prospects into adults with degrees. Without those degrees, there’s not much future. Student debt is crushing. Would you really say a degree from Liberty is worse than no degree at all, plus $20k in loans from 5 semesters?

"Well-educated" isn't a matter of subjective judgment, it's an objective standard. Someone who attended Liberty isn't well educated. This is actually pretty simple.

Is this a joke?

I would advise my child to go to a community college and go where they can to finish up than to get a degree from Liberty.

And to add, I would also advise my child to go to any public university in Virginia before going to Liberty.

It is that bad.

The people defending it are clearly fine with indoctrination, which is why they are defending it to fiercely. It just goes to show what kind of cultish behavior the Evangelicals exhibit.

I do the same with every college whose students have rioted against free speech.
