Actually, some of them are quite reasonable...and correct.
He's innocent until proven guilty. It's an accusation. Many of the students think it unfair to terminate the professor permanently until the verdict is in.

But it does show that Liberty University's Christian element has no superior claims over society in general.

11. Note - he's only "former" coz they fired him as soon as they heard
he'd been arrested.

13. "... Moon worked in the Math Department at Liberty University, but the school fired him after his
arrest last Thursday ... Students say Moon taught statistics at LU. "Faith and morality were very important to Professor Moon and that's what he really emphasized in class too," says sophomore Bildad Khakinah ... "I liked his teachings and his morals, his views about the bible and how he related to his students" ... http://www.wdbj7.com/Global/story.asp?S=10257998

I would think that was a very unusual approach to statistics -- and "object sexual penetration by force" likewise

15. If he has fifty pieces of silver he'll be okay...
(Deuteronomy 22:28-29 NLT)
If a man is caught in the act of raping a young woman who is not engaged, he must pay fifty pieces of silver to her father. Then he must marry the young woman because he violated her, and he will never be allowed to divorce her.

19. Goody
I do so enjoy a good sex scandal.

"Object sexual penetration by force". Is that like, a watermelon or something?
