(RNS) Next month, Sen. Bernie Sanders, a democratic socialist and secular Jew—and a candidate for the Democratic presidential nomination—will speak at Liberty University.
The huge Lynchburg, Virginia, campus was started by Jerry Falwell, founder of the Moral Majority, one of the main engines behind the launch of the religious right. The university is currently headed by Falwell’s son Jerry Falwell Jr.
