Liberty University Should Lose its Tax Exemption

Taken from the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster:

"Americans United for Separation of Church and State has asked the IRS to investigate whether Liberty University - the church school founded by Jerry Falwell - is in violation of tax law.

Liberty shut down the school’s Democratic club (because of unGodly support for gay rights, pro-choice views, etc.) The school’s Republican club is still intact and receiving school support.

AU says that’s bullshit since, as a tax-exempt institution, Liberty is barred from showing preference for one political party over another.

An excerpt from the letter AU sent the IRS:

'By banning a Democratic club while permitting a Republican club to exist and offering funding to the latter but not the former, university officials appear to be operating in violation of federal tax law.'"

Liberty University should lose its tax exemption

You can click the title link about to read the PDF. Yeah, that is bullshit and imo a clear violation. Will anything be done about it? Likely not. The best I can honestly "hope" for is the liberal group is allowed to conduct itself again, though having the LU paying taxes would kick more ass. The Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster give its owns view on the topic in general, which basically sums up my own views on this topic: "Our view: the Church of FSM believes religious organizations should not be exempt from paying taxes." It goes on to rant about the long process for tax exemption and reveals a wish that the CFSM was tax exempt. If we cannot have all religions paying taxes, the least we can do is give followers of FSM a big break!
