In the northeast of India lies one of the very first Seventh-day Adventist schools ever opened in the country. Located in the state of Jharkhand (meaning bushland), the Khunti Adventist School has a quiet, rural setting but a booming enrollment. More than 1,300 students attend the school, which opened in 1937.

The campus started with humble beginnings. The Adventist families in the community constructed a mud-hut classroom with a thatched roof and hand-dug a water well. Since then, the school has grown from a single building to todays sprawling 37-acre (15-hectare) campus, with classrooms for elementary and high school students, dormitories, a cafeteria, and staff housing.

Although it is a Christian school in a majority Hindu region, the Khunti school has come to be regarded with distinction. The people around it live in villages and lead simple lives, earning wages through a trade like tailoring or pottery-making. As one of the only English-speaking schools in the area, families are eager for their children to attend Khunti, where they also learn about Jesus and the Bible.

Student Arzoo Warsi comes from a Muslim family but has attended the Khunti school, where she learns about Christianity. I learned many things about Christ, Warsi said. I learned how to read the Bible. I learned how to pray to God in every situation not only in need but in every situation, when I am happy or sad. I carry one Bible always with me, and in the morning and before going to bed, I read it, and I pray to God. Whenever Im alone I feel lonely I open my Bible and pray to God. God has helped me.

Warsi is one of many students at Khunti who are not Christian. Like Warsi, they are also learning about the love of Jesus by going to a Christian school. Because of the quality of education that students receive at Khunti, non-Christian families are willing to send their children to an Adventist school.

Christians have a special place in the society, says V. P. Singh, president of the Adventist Church in northern India. Although some people do not like to become Christians for various reasons, they know Christians are good people, and the education that they get in Christian schools is good. In fact, those who oppose Christianity or conversion, they themselves want to [be] educated in our schools.

Because of the demand, the Khunti school could increase its enrollment, but it simply doesnt have the space. Each year the school turns hundreds of families away. Classrooms are crowded, elementary grade classrooms are scattered throughout campus, and there is no space large enough for the entire school to assemble. Deteriorating buildings are also a deterrent for prospective and existing families. With the campus being more than 80 years old, many structures haveleaky roofs, crumbling walls, and broken windows.

When parents come to the school, they actually look for the infrastructure, said former principal Ramesh Fendall. Good classrooms. And that we do not have. Once they see the classroom and the facilities, for elementary especially, they go back. They dont come. They take applications but never come back with the applications. Many of the parents also give suggestions that we update ourselves, make good infrastructure for the children to have good education.

Suleman Topmo is one of the schools teachers. He has spent much of his life at the Khunti school; growing up, his parents worked on the farm operated by the school. We dont have proper classrooms, Topmo said. They arent wellequipped and are very old. They are the same classrooms I studied in when I was a student! Students are increasing, but classrooms are getting crowded. We are really facing a problem to get more students.

In 2018, Maranatha Volunteers International agreed to construct a 12-classroom school building on the campus of the Khunti school. The new structure could house elementary grades, provide a space for assemblies during the week, and host church on Saturday (Sabbath).

In April 2018, Maranatha broke ground on the project, and over the past year, 115 volunteers helped construct the new building.

Compared to many of the structures we construct around the world, the scale of this building is different because its simply much larger, said Kyle Fiess, Maranathas vice president of projects. At more than thirteen thousand square feet, it is a large steel structure with long spans, so it can take more time to complete. Yet, as large as it is, it is simple enough that volunteers can still help build it.

On May 2, 2019, a special dedication was held with more than 1,000 people in attendance. Maranatha president Don Noble was present to participate in a ribbon-cutting ceremony.

This building is much more than a structure, Noble said. Future Seventh-day Adventist Church leaders come through this school, and it provides a less-fortunate area with opportunities they wouldn't otherwise have.

The building was made possible, in part, by a generous gift from the Krueger family inmemory of Sue Krueger. Krueger, a long-time volunteer and supporter of Maranatha, had a passion for education and a special affinity for India, and the building is named in her honor.

After the ceremony, students and teachers explored their new classrooms. These large, clean classrooms are a far cry from the old, deteriorating buildings. Students and teachers smiles showed their approval. And when enrollment opens in January 2020, there should be even more smiles.

One of the parents at the dedication told me his daughter didnt want to go to school at Khunti anymore because of the conditions, so they pulled her out, Noble said. Then they sawthe construction going on, and with this new building, shell be returning to the school next year.

The excitement or the new school building extends beyond the Khunti campus. Families are taking notice, and children who have never heard of Jesus may soon be attending the school. One of the first Adventist schools in India that started with a mud hut now has a substantial building to be a beacon for the gospel for years to come.

New principal Patmas Murmu knows this building will make a big difference in sustaining Adventist education into the future.

On behalf of the school I would like to thank the donors for helping the students in getting their Christian education and hope someday these children in return will come out good and serve the community at large in their surroundings, Murmu said.

US Education Market will hit USD 2040 billion by 2026 - Online Industry News

San Mateo County will need to fill about 2,500 teaching spots by 2025 to keep pace with the growing need for early childhood education programs, according to a 2016 early learning facilities needs assessment for the county.

The study also predicts that between now and 2025,

there will be a shortage of 14,000 classroom spots for children anticipated to live in the county who would be eligible for such programs, according to the assessment.

With these statistics in mind, Menlo Park-based nonprofit Community Equity Collaborative partnered with Foothill College in Los Altos Hills in 2018 to create the Teacher Pipeline Program. The aim: to boost the number of high-quality early education teachers in the area.

The program for this school year will begin next Monday (Sept. 23) and includes early childhood education courses through the community college, along with meals, child care, coaching and loaner laptops, all free of charge.

"The Teacher Pipeline Program has the potential to become a model for how we can successfully bring new educators into the workforce to address the teacher shortage, expand our capacity to serve more children and professionalize the field," said Peggy Pizzo, director of Stanford University's Early Learning Project, in a prepared statement. "The benefits of such collaborative efforts go beyond its participants or partners as many are watching and hoping for archetypes that can be replicated and scaled."

In its first year as a pilot program, the Teacher Pipeline offered classes in Redwood City through Foothill's child development department.

This year, students can also take classes, which run from September to June, at the Menlo Park outpost of the Boys and Girls Clubs of the Peninsula.

Students can participate in the program to simply bolster their skills, or they can follow one- and two-year pathways to becoming an assistant teacher or a teacher in early childhood classrooms. Courses include child growth and development, prenatal through early childhood; positive behavior management; and how to plan art activities.

For Olivia Saachi, a teacher's aide at the Early Learning Center preschool in Menlo Park, the program offered her a chance to brush up on her prior early learning training and the latest best practices in early childhood education. Saachi, one of the 40 students who took classes in the program last year, plans to enroll in classes this year as well.

The classes "made me much more mindful about how I would talk with children," she said.

Program organizers provide students and their families with dinner 30 minutes before weeknight classes and snacks on Saturdays. The Boys and Girls Club provides programming for children ages 6 to 12 and child care for infants to 5-year-olds on weekday evenings.

One student said the child care and meals helped make it possible for her to take the classes.

"For a single mother, the fact [that I can go to school and have my child at the school day care is phenomenal," she said in a prepared statement from the Community Equity Collaborative.

This student's story illustrates why Community Equity Collaborative leaders thought the program would help bring more people into the early childhood learning field: its access to child care for people who otherwise might not be able to complete such coursework.

"The ROI (return on investment) is pretty remarkable," said Dayna Chung, co-founder of the Community Equity Collaborative, which was formed in 2017 to organize local groups to solve educational inequities. "Communities are paying the price by not having as many women engaged in the workforce and people are definitely needing these child care spaces."

The Redwood City and Menlo Park City school districts are also partners in the collaborative, helping to spread the word about the program. Pati Ortiz, the Redwood City district's community-school partnerships director, helped connect program organizers with SparkPoint, which offers individual online financial and career coaching, Chung said.

This school year, the program is operated through $125,000 in private donations, according to Heather Hopkins, a Community Equity Collaborative co-founder. Half of this funding goes toward tuition costs, she said. These funds also go toward child care expenses, meals and other program expenses.

The nonprofit is pursuing grants to help fund the program that could be used during the second half of the school year, according to the group.

The collaborative held 2019-20 program information sessions earlier this month in Menlo Park and Redwood City to welcome participants and program partners.

Classes in Menlo Park will run from 6:30 to 8:20 p.m. on Mondays and every other Saturday from 9 a.m. to 12:50 p.m. Classes in Redwood City will run from 6 to 7:50 p.m. on Wednesdays and every other Saturday from 9 a.m. to 12:50 p.m.

Registration is open until the first day of classes on Sept. 23, or until classes are full, here. There are about 40 student slots in Menlo Park and 50 in Redwood City, Chung said.

Nonprofit aims to bolster number of early childhood education teachers in county - The Almanac Online

Florida A&M Universitys Office Of International Education and Development is set to premiere its latest project, Curating Culture. The web-based show, which is sponsored by the OIED, will focus on global issues and the effects they have on various cultures.

Examples of these issues include, but are not limited to, health, environment, technology, politics, cultural gentrification, as well as other topics.

Its founders, Cedrita Demus and Victoria V. Moore, believe that although a development or crisis may not originate in ones own country, the issues still affect the world as a whole.

Starting Curating Culture is important to me because it gives us, as a people, an opportunity to connect and engage with the world around us in a meaningful way, said Demus.

The goal for me is to create a pathway of empathy and connection. Creating a platform that shows the audience were not as different as we think and to recognize the small things about ourselves and our families in the stories of others.

Moore also believes that by creating the platform, it will encourage other cultures to live peacefully among each other.

I believe its important to showcase aspects of various cultures for all to see, understand and hopefully respect, she said.

Whether or not we agree with each others customs, cultures and religious practices is another story, but I think the basis of living peacefully amongst each other should be understanding.

The show will be an 8-14 week broadcast program during both the fall and spring semesters of the 2019-2020 academic school year. Each episode will explore an individual topic and approved special guests will be featured on the show based on their relationship to the area of study.

Whats even more amazing about this new development is that Curating Culture is seeking to provide opportunities for journalism students to gain experience in interviewing, filming, editing, news writing and more.

Rashad Ingram, a graduate of Florida A&M University, said he wished there was a platform such as Curating Culture that he couldve been involved with during his time at FAMU.

This is honestly a really good idea. There are so many different cultures that exist on campus, Im interested in seeing them merge together, said Ingram.

I would have raced at an opportunity like this had it been available when I was in school, because I love learning about new things concerning the world around us.

Demus and Moore hope to partner with FAMUs official television network, but in the meantime the show will premiere starting Oct. 12 on YouTube under the username Curating Culture TV.

Students who are interested, can sign up to volunteer at OIED located in Room 302 in Perry Paige. After doing so, they will be assigned a specific topic to cover based on their area of interest.

Office of International Education to launch new web show - Famuan

Catfishing gameshow The Circle came back for a second series tonight with a new presenter at the helm.

Emma Willis, who has taken over from Maya Jama and Alice Levine, says the programme is a brilliant vehicle for telling people to be aware of who theyre talking to online.

Contestants on The Circle, which this year also includes celebrity participants such as Richard Madeley, solely communicate with each other by social media in a bid to be the most popular person.

While celebs profiles will be determined by viewers using a new app, everyone else will use a profile that they have designed themselves and this means they can pretend to be anyone they want to be in order to claim the 100,000 prize.

Before Id watched it, I was like, This is glorifying what is wrong with social media, where anyone can be anyone. You dont know who youre talking to, admits Emma.

But I hadnt watched it and that was just my opinion. After watching it, I thought its a brilliant vehicle for education, in the way that the game is showing you that you should be so wary of who youre talking to and anything that youre doing online.

Emma, who posed, right, in a string of alter-egos to highlight how easy it is to fake your identity, says she has a healthy relationship with social media. But she admits she likes to keep it at arms length and that she is thoughtful when using it.

I guess I am anti-social on social media! I talk to people I know, but Im of the older generation, I dont trust anyone, she says.

Im always conscious of being realistic on it and painting a true picture of my life, rather than a version of me. I think thats the responsibility we should all be taking. Even if you have that strength I think we can all still get sucked into it.

It should be enjoyable and it should be either a tool for your trade or some way where you can express the things that you enjoy or that youre into, or to stay in touch with friends.

Theres a whole world of people listening, watching and judging. I dont mean edit yourself and only put the best version out there, but just be thoughtful.

Emma, 43, says Instagram is her favourite platform, despite being against it for a long time. I actually find Instagram a much more positive place than Twitter.

I think because its all based on a picture thats much easier and people want to see nice pictures, not nasty ones, she says. I wouldnt write anything that was offensive (on social media), and I try not to be judgmental.

Lifes too short for that. If thats your bag, get on with it. But for me its a waste of energy and time. Im here for happy reasons. None of that negative s***. Dont drag me into your pit.

With The Circle contestants having to move in to flats for over three weeks to participate in the show, its drawn comparisons to Big Brother, the programme Emma presented from 2014 to last years final ever series on Channel 5.

However, Emma says she sees it quite differently from Big Brother. I always viewed Big Brother with the purist mentality that it was a social experiment, she says.

I hated Big Brother being compared to a game, but I very much watch The Circle as a game, seeing who is going to be themselves and who is going to play it to try to be the most popular and win that money.

And she admits while shed love to see the return of Big Brother, which drew almost six million viewers in its heyday, there are no plans to bring it back.

I miss it so much and I think wed all love it to come back, says Emma. I get emotional thinking about it, but the reality of it is there are no plans to bring it back and you cant wait for something that might never happen.

Even if I did wait, they might not want me to do it, so what are you meant to do? Never work again because youre waiting for something that may never happen? So with The Circle it really felt like the right thing for me to do next.

And Emma, who has three young children Isabelle, Ace and Trixie with husband of 11 years, Busted singer Matt Willis, is extremely busy at the moment.

As well as hosting The Voice, she recently returned for the second series of the W Channels Delivering Babies, where she worked four shifts a week as a maternity care assistant. I like variety, I dont like to pigeonhole myself and I like working for different channels as well, she says. It keeps things interesting.

I often get asked about my bucket list and I should have some big answer, like, I really want to do this or that, but I just want to keep working.

I love my job and hopefully I can keep doing it for as long as possible. Thats my bucket list! I have pinch-me moments all the time.

I never ever, ever thought this would be my life. I kind of pinch myself every day, really its a cheesy answer, but its true!

Episode 2 of The Circle is on Channel 4 tonight at 10pm .

It all started one spring-time afternoon in 1964, when Paola City Manager Jim Austin and physician Robert E. Banks took an interest in the idea of a mental health facility in Paola. The idea caused them to visit with the late Mother M. Charles McGrath at her office in the Ursuline Academy, where they asked for help from the Ursuline Sisters.

The Sisters were at a point of transition in their mission, as their work in the regions parish schools were dwindling. The new mission was a welcome, refreshing thought to McGrath.

The facilitys best hope originally came from an act signed into law the year before by former U.S. President John F. Kennedy the Mental Retardation Facilities and Community Mental Health Center Construction Act.

When the founders were deterred by the proximity of the Osawatomie State Hospital, they diverted their attention to the possibility of a center for the mentally retarded, which transitioned into a school specifically for children with mental retardation.

A need for such a facility had been expressed by parents and educators in the community before special education was available in public schools.

The entire idea was spawned from a group of nine mentally retarded children who were being educated in a class under the stage at the Ursuline auditorium in 1959.

The class was moved to the Osawatomie State Hospital in 1963 so the children could take advantage of the recreational facilities, including a swimming pool.

At this time, a group of parents spoke out about the need for a facility specifically for these children. This group eventually became known as the Miami County Association for Retarded Citizens.

After McGraths visit from the city officials, she took the reins and contacted the president of Citizens State Bank, L.M. Schwartz. The two eventually envisioned a medical complex to be built on Ursuline property east of Paola. The facility would include a nursing home, hospital, medical office building and the future Lakemary Center.

At this time, Austin had left Paola for a city manager position in Arizona.

Federal funds became available for the school and McGrath and others from the Ursuline Academy looked to Schwartz for help cutting through miles of red tape.

McGrath named the corporation Lakemary Center for the lake on the same property and for the Virgin Mary.

The Lakemary Board of Directors met for the first time on May 3, 1966, when they voted to submit the application for federal funding. The obstacle they faced at this point was raising money to match the grant.

Schwartz and parent Jim Clemens worked to convince the city to issue $800,000 in industrial revenue bonds to accompany the $540,000 grant to get close to the $1,345,000 goal.

The bonds were successfully sold despite doubts from the underwriter.

The project was ready by Oct. 9, 1967, when groundbreaking ceremonies were held by many heavily involved individuals. Construction began a few weeks later and was complete in under two years in May 1969.

The center officially opened on March 21, 1970. U.S. Senator Robert Dole of Kansas attended the dedication ceremonies, in addition to then-Governor Robert Docking.

The centers progress has been extensive in the 50 years since its official opening.

In 1974, the centers special purpose elementary school and high school became accredited and were approved by the Missouri State Department of Education. A deaf education program was also added to the curriculum.

The center was accredited for a further two years in 1975. The center was the first of its kind to be accredited in the three-state area of Oklahoma, Kansas and Missouri.

An on-the-job training program began in 1980, which was one of the first steps taken toward the new adult program.

The athletics program was expanded in 1982 with the dedication of the Hartley Memorial Softball Field. That same year two adult community residences were approved for construction on Peoria Street as part of a new residential area called Sunrise Acres. The buildings opened in 1983, followed by two more in 1986.

The Kansas Council on Developmental Disabilities Services met at Lakemary for the first time. The councils existence was mandated by federal legislation. Paola resident Viola Davidson was appointed to the council.

After some grants were allocated, the vocational program turned into job coaching and training services.

The Ursa House on Lakemarys property opened in 1988. The residential facility increased the number of housed students from 32 to 38. Two more group homes opened in Olathe two years later, followed by the construction of a new swimming pool. The pool was funded by money received from the centers golf benefit.

The center was licensed in 1991 by the Kansas Department of Social and Rehabilitation Services for its new adult living skills and supported employment programs.

One year later, the Kansas Special Olympics chose Lakemary as the best facility of the year.

New leadership was also seen in 1992, when Bill Craig took over as president when Patrice Schmitz Hall retired. Hall had been president for most of Lakemarys first 22 years.

The number of residents living in the community versus residential group homes doubled in 1993 and again in 1994.

Lakemary Center adopted a new logo and was accredited to serve behaviorally disordered children in 1994. And in 1995 the Johnson County Service Center was opened as a satellite office.

The center celebrated its 25th anniversary in May of that year, when Lakemary students, staff and their families, in addition to some of the original founders, enjoyed music from the Kansas City Symphony.

The center has since enjoyed an explosion of growth and expansion. The past 25 years have been a time of exponential advances in technology.

The childrens program was approved by the state of Kansas as a dual diagnosis services provider in 1996, which means they are licensed to treat children who have both a developmental disability and a psychiatric disorder. Many children with this disorder were already receiving attention, but the new designation means a higher reimbursement rate and enhanced services.

A greenhouse was built to provide a horticultural therapy program, also in 1996.

A Snoezelen Room was added to the school. The special room allows children with severe disabilities to control breezes, lights, aromas, sounds, textures and colors. The project was funded by the Ronald McDonald Foundation in 1997.

Computers were added to each classroom in 1998. A Sensory Garden was also installed for therapy purposes.

The Infant Toddler Program served 32 children in 1999, quadrupling the number served by the previous provider.

The number of children served at Lakemary increased by 22 percent in 2000, and a behavior management specialist and technology specialist were hired to work with the children.

A new effort called Child Find in 2001 increased the amount of children served by the Infant Toddler Program by 104 percent.

Parents and Lakemary staff began a campaign to raise $1.4 million to build a new gymnasium.

Three years of effort and preparation earned the center Missouris Level IV certification for the Residential Treatment Program in 2002.

A new data system was also applied in 2002. It is designed to track student progress and develop treatment plans.

It was a progressive year, as the school was awarded the School of Excellence certificate following its accreditation in 2002.

In 2003, the school received the same award for the third consecutive year.

A new program initiated in 2003 allows treatment through art therapy.

The Founders Fieldhouse was constructed in 2004 in honor of the founding families of Lakemary. The gym was dedicated in December that year.

The Lakemary Center and Endowment founding families are Jim and Bev Clemens, Gus and Frances Huber, Loren and Viola Davidson, Steve and Ann McGreevy, Bill and Jean Dunn, Bob and Barbara Metzler, Bill and Helen Fagan, Clyde and Gail Mock, Carl and Beth Gump, Clark and Peg Murray, Patrice Schmitz Hall, Harold and Pauline Schroeder, Dub and Pat Hartley, Jim and Elsie Wilson and Katherine Woolsey.

Lakemary students state assessments met the Standard of Excellence in seven curricular areas in 2005. It was also the year the classroom computers began receiving Internet access.

In 2007, two classrooms received a digital makeover and were fitted with computer smart boards. Kansas Gov. Kathleen Sebelius appointed Lakemary president Bill Craig to chair the Kansas Autism Task Force Committee the same year.

The Lakemary Adult Day Services facility opened in 2009. The building provided expanded service options for adults.

A two-day 40th anniversary celebration in honor of the Ursuline Sisters and the Lakemary founding families was also held in 2009 at the Paola main campus.

In 2011, the Craig Center opened on the Paola campus, expanding the childrens residential program.

Lakemary Center got a brand new look in 2014 after completing a $3.3 million renovation and expansion project. The project included updated classrooms, as well as the addition of the Discovery Center and the Bob Dole Family Center, which created a new front facade by filling in the gap that previously existed between the administrative and school buildings.

The Discovery Center features a variety of sensory learning tools, and the family center gives students and family members a place to reconnect and even spend the night if need be. It also provides a location for therapists to meet with children and family members.

Also in 2014, former U.S. Sen. Bob Dole visited Lakemary Center during a tour of his home state of Kansas, and Lakemary President Bill Craig announced his retirement after 22 years in the position.

Gianna Gariglietti became the third president in Lakemarys history in 2015.

In 2016, Careers & More program launched in cooperation with MidAmerica Nazarene University, providing adults with opportunities for college-level classes and job training.

Lakemary Ranch opened in 2017 featuring a barn, chicken coop, rabbit hutches, goat paddock, sensory and play garden, koi pond, pig pen, greenhouse, raised garden beds and an Outdoor Wildlife Learning Site (OWLS), all on the grounds of the Paola campus.

In 2018, the clinical team added two therapeutic dogs to the program.

Now, in 2019, the Lakemary team is preparing to celebrate the organizations 50th anniversary with an open house event scheduled to take place from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 14, at the Paola campus located at 100 Lakemary Drive.

There will be guided and self-guided tours of Lakemarys campus and ranch.

Another anniversary celebration is set to take place from 4:30 to 7:30 p.m. Wednesday, Dec. 4, at the Johnson County Lakemary Headquarters at 15145 S. Keeler St. in Olathe.

Liberty students protest in wake of reports about Falwell

Students at Liberty University in Virginia gathered Friday to protest in the wake of news reports containing allegations that school president Jerry Falwell Jr. improperly benefited from the institution and disparaged students in emails.

Students joined together at the private evangelical university known for being an influential hub in conservative politics and held up signs calling for accountability and an investigation.

Elizabeth Brooks, a junior majoring in politics and policy, told The Associated Press by phone that a recent Politico Magazine story as well as a Reuters report prompted the protest at the school in Lynchburg. She said about 35 students were involved.

"I couldn't stay silent anymore," the 20-year-old said. "I would like to see President Falwell address this himself and for there to be an investigation into the allegations to see whether or not they're true."

At least one student held a sign that read: "I TRUST JERRY."

The Politico story contained allegations that Falwell "presides over a culture of self-dealing" at Liberty that has improperly benefited him and his family. The story cited unnamed sources described as current and former officials or Falwell associates.

Falwell told The AP on Tuesday that he wasn't going to "dignify the lies that were reported" in the Politico piece, calling the reporter for the story a "little boy."

Falwell said he would ask the FBI to investigate. He also said Liberty has hired "the meanest lawyer in New York," whom he declined to identify, to pursue civil cases.

Brooks said student protesters were particularly upset about quotes of emails in the Reuters story posted Thursday in which Falwell allegedly referred to one student as "emotionally imbalanced and physically retarded."

David Corry, Liberty's general counsel, told Reuters that Liberty wouldn't respond "without knowing the details or seeing email chains in their entirety."

Brooks grew up in Lynchburg and said she remembers when Falwell's father, Jerry Falwell Sr., died in 2007. She referred to the elder Falwell's often-used quote about the school: "If it's Christian, it ought to be better."

"I am a Christian," Brooks said. "And that quote from Jerry. Sr. really does embody our mission. We didn't come out here to be angry or militant. We honestly just wanted to show the student body that there are people like them who care and who want to see this place be the best it can be."

Following Friday's protest, Falwell Jr. tweeted that he was "so impressed with how @LibertyU students conducted themselves today at the protest!"

"The ones who had concerns and the ones who supported me were both respectful and not angry - very Christ-like in their behavior," he continued. "Our students are an example the world can learn from!"

Liberty was founded in 1971 by Jerry Falwell Sr. with just 154 students. It now boasts an enrollment of more than 100,000, including those in its massive online education program.

Falwell Jr.'s early and ardent support of President Donald Trump created a rift on campus during the presidential campaign and has sparked controversy since.
