"Liberty’s president, Jerry Falwell Jr, defied nationwide calls for mandatory school closures, inviting students to return amid a worsening coronavirus pandemic. Falwell is a major and vocal backer of Donald Trump and evangelicals are a core part of the president’s support base."
That guy Falwell Jr. is something else. Is this guy afraid his flock will fly away? He must be advising Trump on this issue, as well. Is Easter the reason to get all the students, all 5000 of them, back to celebrate? Is this why Trump says all should resume back to normal at Easter time? I don't exactly know, but IMO it sounds like an irresponsible action. Not heeding science and completely disregarding Trump's own task force recommendations doesn't make any sense. Maybe they all can pray it away.
“I think we, in a way, are protecting the students by having them on campus together,” Falwell said. Falwell then invoked a since disproven theory that young people “don’t have conditions that put them at risk”
