[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not personally.  But I had an opposing counsel who was a Liberty grad.  Honestly, he was a nice guy, reasonably intelligent, and seemed pretty normal.[/quote]

There was a guy in our class at UVA law who graduated from Liberty. He had had an extremely religious upbringing, and seemed very sheltered, but he was very intelligent. [/quote]

There was a guy at my law school who had gone to Liberty undergrad, he was very nice. And his BFF at law school was a guy from Turkey and Muslim.  Go figure.

He told us that Libery is very serious about a code of conduct for students, no drinking, no premarital sex, no homosexuals, pro life, etc.  this was the late 90s. They have to sign a pledge and can be thrown out of school for violating it (like an honor code). He was [b]very, very religious and conservative and had been homeschooled[/b]. But he was very nice and accepting of other people.  [/quote]

Stereotype much?  We are ^^ and my DC's best friend is also Muslim.  Maybe you should be more [b]"very nice and accepting of other people".  Why do you assume all conservatives are evil? [/b] Maybe you need to think about how you're part of the problem.

But yes, unfortunately OP, I don't really see my DC's top SAT scores/public M&S magnet grades lining up with a more religious school, and I imagine it's the same for a good number of kids in this competitive area.  [/quote]

Not PP, but conservatives are constantly trying to take rights away from others (women, LGBT, Muslims, immigrants, etc). If you need examples check any regular newspaper (not FoxNews!) for what the current administration is trying to do. They aren't getting much done (fortunately) but would love to do much, much more.

If you say that you are "accepting of others" then how can you take away their rights? Either you do or you don't. Can't say you do just because your DC has a Muslim friend. You still vote to take rights away from other Muslims. Gays. Trans. Women.

So if I met someone from Liberty I'd also be surprised if he/she were "very nice and accepting of others". And not just in some superficial way.
