Names have been erased to protect the innocent… or the indictable… depending on your point of view — in any case, to protect the student from any implications that those in power may seek to use against them . I hear they have a strict codebook.

Enjoy.

Me: Do you have to pledge allegiance to Jerry Falwell in addition to the Christian flag while at chapel?

Liberty Student: “We do not pledge to the Christian flag.”
Liberty Student: “…just to Doctor Falwell.”

Wonderful.
