Liberty University's hiring practices and EEO Statement are fully in compliance with both federal and state law. Federal law creates an exception to the "religion" component of the employment discrimination laws for religious organizations (including educational institutions), and permits them to give employment preference to members of their own religion. Liberty University is in that category.

What? Nobody wants a teacher who thinks gravity is just a theory or says that all the starlight in the sky is just a lie to test our faith?

2. Someone as dumb as a box of rocks, and
3. A lying sack of shit.
With a bit of luck the new hire will be all three.

She didnt tell me who she got her degree from until after and I told her that is Jerry Faldwells school, she said who is that? I said the weird religious guy.
She found out quick even online they made her take a religion class, and being in the military and not going to church themselves but having many religious friends she knew how to talk.
All the bless yous and I will pray for you aside she got her degree. She really did learn some accounting but the fun part is now she lives in Texas and going for her CPA. She is studying for the tests and has been hired by great accounting firm to start this summer.
The fun part is that she had to retake her ethics class because Texas didnt accept the one she took there. I guess Liberty doesnt teach its moral values well....
