Y’all. I appreciate the shout outs re: Jerry Falwell, but many, many people have spent many, many years speaking out/reporting on issues at Liberty University — often at great personal cost.

All I did was tweet some publicly available photos that I thought were odd. #Falwell

Rly tho -- @byjoelanderson literally put this (fantastic) story out three hours before my Tweet. #Falwell

Reporters at the @MiamiHerald have written at least 90 stories about Falwell.

.@BrandonAmbro spent IDK-how-many-months getting people to talk to him about what's been happening behind the scenes there. #Falwell #JerryFalwell #LibertyUniversity

^You should read this story (1) because its amazing journalism but (2) because it is a testament to the very people who chose to speak out despite great personal risk..

I sent two Tweets. That's it. #JerryFalwellJr #LibertyUniversity #Falwell

I could go on and on, but point being: It'd be a disservice to so many people to focus on some Tweets rather than all of the things that came before those Tweets.

And that includes the many, many people at #LibertyUniversity who deserve a full/true account of the road to here.

One more thing: There is no universe in which I learn about those #jerryfalwell w/o the exposure from Abuse of Faith-- which doesn't happen w/o many, many people risking and enduring so much in talking to us.

So please read their stories too #SBCtoo

This @publicroad piece further proves all of my above points. #Falwell #LibertyUniversity
