“I just think there’s a code that leaders have to live by, especially when you’re leading the largest Christian evangelical university in the country.”
–Rep. Mark Walker (R-N.C.), in calling for the resignation of Jerry Falwell, Jr. as president of Liberty University after photos were posted by Falwell on Twitter showing him and a female companion with pants unzipped and bellies showing. [Not to offer any sympathy for Falwell (who has taken indefinite leave from the university), but isn’t it ironic that these are the same Republicans who unconditionally support another president who likes to grab women by their p***y? Boys and girls, can you say “double standard?” Can you say “hypocrite?”]
“They heard you were coming up, and they know the news is fake. They know that better than anybody.”
–Donald Trump, explaining that a crowd at his press conference at his New Jersey club was a “peaceful protest” of the media and thus exempt from wearing masks. [The nation is in the grips of a pandemic, an economic recession brought about by widespread unemployment, schools are afraid to reopen and people are being evicted from their homes. Yet, Trump must make everything about him.]
“[W]e have plenty of (Latino) janitors who are paid to do it for us.”
Trump white supremacist adviser Stephen Miller, speaking to his high school assembly while a student in California, on why students should not be expected to pick up after themselves. [From Jean Guerrero’s book Hate Monger, about Miller.]
“Anything that’s going on social media that’s negative or alike without permission, photography, that’s video or anything, there will be consequences.”
–Principal Gabe Carmona, in an announcement to students of North Paulding High School (Georgia) after suspending two students for sharing photos of a school hallway packed with maskless students. [You can fill that under “What the hell was he thinking?” The students were reinstated after only one day because of public reaction.]
Louisiana Voice 
Note to Rep. Walker: Your stand against Falwell’s behavior as a poor reflection on Evangelicals is well taken….however, your complete support of Trump’s ugly and destructive record of treatment of women (sinful much) actually cancels our your credibility. You might want to really examine Trump’s sex abuse records…and understand your credibility problem…
Amen.
Jerry, Jr will be back, give him a month or so
The reaction to cover up the truth by that principal sure reveals the motives of those who insist schools and colleges reopen like all is normal. It’s certainly not motivated by the best interests of the students, although that’s the cover story. At LSU, the Lab School opened on August 6. On August 15, the college students move into the dorms. Classes start 9 days later. How long before an outbreak of COVID-19 centers on LSU’s campus? The plans to prevent that involve students following a lot of rules, like wearing masks at all times, not congregating, etc. I hope it works, but college campuses seem like an environment tailor made to spread this type of disease. Those in charge at LSU had little choice, though, because state funding for higher ed has been cut so much since 2008 that tuition revenue has become essential to staying open. Not students, no tuition, no LSU.
