Falwell

In early August, Falwell was put on leave after he posted on social media a picture of himself holding a glass containing a dark liquid and standing with an unrelated pregnant woman.

The suit filed Thursday in Lynchburg Circuit Court marked another twist in the saga of Falwell’s messy departure last year from Liberty.

The board launched an independent investigation to examine university operations during Falwell’s tenure.

Falwell told The Post in August that he was resigning in part because he did not want to bring embarrassment to the school because of his wife’s behavior.

Falwell, who served as president of Liberty University since 2007, resigned after pressure from the school’s board.

Remember, Jerry Falwell himself, in a 1965 sermon called “Ministers and Marches,” denounced mixing religion and politics.

His late colleague Jerry Falwell said Jan. 1, 2000, would mark the apocalypse, then changed his prediction to 2006.

Jerry Falwell died in 2007, and last month, Dr. James C. Dobson left Focus on the Family, which he had led since 1977.

This theology has done as much to bolster conservative ideology as the naked politicking of Falwell and Robertson.

National security has become part of the culture wars, only with Dick Cheney as the new Jerry Falwell.
