"Removing Falwell, then, is not enough. Liberty must make a public statement of reconciliation wherein it traces its culture of fear and intolerance to Jerry Falwell Sr.’s blatant racism, his support of segregation in the 1960s, and his founding of a white-only school, Liberty Christian Academy, which remains enjoined to Liberty. Without addressing the sins of its founder, Liberty will never become a respectable or morally upstanding institution. With this in mind, I imagine a Liberty University whose systems of power are checked, where administrators listen to LGBTQ+ Christians and Christians of color when implementing changes to the school, where leaders of the school repent of Falwell’s profit motives and embrace the teachings of the Jesus they claim to follow, who preached justice for the poor and marginalized."
