March 18, 1998 LIBERTY UNIVERSITY SELLS CHILD PORNOGRAPHYOne of America's leading spokesman against the moral decay of America is selling child pornography at the official Liberty University bookstore located on its campus in Lynchburg, Virginia. Books have been purchased from the store containing child pornography that have criminal indictments against them in several jurisdictions. Falwell recently sold the Liberty bookstore business on campus to Barnes & Noble even after being made aware by various Christian leaders that the bookstore chain was selling books of fully naked children in lewd poses with suggestive captions. Reverend Flip Benham, Director of Operation Rescue National, even supplied to the University the pictures in question. Barnes & Noble has been adamant that it will not stop selling the books indicted. There is speculation that the reason Dr. Falwell has distanced himself from Reverend Benham, who sits in a Lynchburg jail over a school trespass controversy and who has been abandoned and even denounced by Falwell, is because of Benham's stance against Barnes & Noble and Liberty University deal. "We have very patiently and carefully followed the scriptural admonitions of Matthew 18 concerning the unholy alliance between a God fearing university and an unholy, God hating bookstore," says Rev. Benham. "We beseech Liberty University to break all ties with Barnes & Noble Corporation." Rev. Keith Tucci, spokesman for ORN says, "Dr. Falwell has taken many widows mites given sacrificially for the establishing of a Christian University and made a mockery of them." EVENT: Press Conference |
