A top player for Liberty University's women's basketball team has announced she is leaving the school two weeks after school president Jerry Falwell Jr tweeted a picture of a face mask with the image of Virginia Governor Ralph Northam in blackface.
In a video posted on Twitter on Thursday, sophomore Asia Todd said she'd entered her name into the NCAA transfer portal "and will no longer be attending Liberty University," WSET reported.
"The racial insensitivities shown within the leadership and culture simply do not align with my moral compass or personal convictions, therefore I did what I felt was best within my heart and stand up for what is right," she said.
Todd, who averaged 8.6 points for the Liberty Flames last season, was the college's first Atlantic Sun Conference All-Freshman Team Honoree, according to The Sporting News.
