End of an era

Ironically, Jerry Falwell passed away just months before two of my students were leaving to attend Liberty University. I can't say that I agree with everything that Mr. Falwell believed, but I do credit him with being vocal about conservative values and being very pro-adoption, anti-abortion. That issue alone makes him a hero in my book.

I hope that Liberty University will survive this transition to new leadership and maintain its conservative identity. It's nice to know that there are options out there in academia which still understand the simple power of appropriate, moral behavior.

It's the end of an era.
