"Liberty University may have violated federal tax law"

Thursday, May 28, 2009

It's about time the IRS looked into Liberty's tax exempt status:
Americans United for Separation of Church and State said it would ask the Internal Revenue Service to investigate Liberty University’s tax-exempt status because the school revoked its recognition of the College Democrats club.

[...]

Americans United for Separation of Church and State said in a letter to the IRS that “Liberty University may have violated federal tax law in denying recognition to this club while extending it to a Republican organization.”

[...]

“By banning a Democratic club while permitting a Republican club to exist and offering funding to the latter but not the former, university officials appear to be operating in violation of federal tax law,” [Americans United for Separaton of Church and State Executive Director Barry] Lynn’s letter said.
I certainly hope the IRS thoroughly investigates this school. In the meantime, I strongly urge the Liberty Dem's to NOT BACK DOWN and certainly DO NOT APOLOGIZE. You've done nothing wrong, and in fact you've done everything right. Stick to your guns!
