Jerry Falwell Jr. needs to go

Liberty University has a problem. Jerry Falwell Jr., the school’s president and son of its founder, the late Rev. Jerry Falwell, has become a serious liability. It finally appears that Liberty is going to do something about it.

Speaking anonymously to Politico, dozens of current and former Liberty officials close to Falwell detailed his cronyist business deals, his fearmongering, and his public and private behavioral problems. They believe that Falwell has put the school’s mission and reputation in jeopardy.
