Liberty University's Anti-Gay Curriculum - LAW 765 Sexual Behavior and the Law

One has to wonder at times as to what bizarre psychological issues drive some of the Christianists to do nothing but seemingly obsess abouts gays 24/7. One of the most obsessed - and I would posit most mentally ill - is Matt Barber who is now ensconced as Associate Dean at Liberty University's so-called law school. Liberty University is a blight on the Commonwealth of Virginia and is a breeding ground for religious extremists. Now, Barber is teaching what amounts to an anti-gay/revisionist history course entitled "Sexual Behavior and the Law" which Barber describes as "addressing public policy issues, legal issues and so forth from a Judeo-Christian perspective and looking at our true legal history and the true history of public policy in this country." Right Wing Watch has this to say about Barber's batshitery:
*
There are few "mainstream" Religious Right activists operating today who are as militantly anti-gay as Matt Barber - in fact, he owes his entire current career to the fact that he got fired for being anti-gay.
*
And so now, in addition to using his position as Director of Cultural Affairs with Liberty Counsel from which to launch his incessant anti-gay attacks, Barber is also an Associate Dean at the Jerry Falwell-founded Liberty Law School.
*
And if you were thinking that this might just be some sort of administrative position, rest assured that it is not and that Barber is actually imparting his anti-gays views to LU students as an instructor.

*

As for Barber's credentials to be teaching at a law school, like most Christianist mouth pieces and "experts," he has none. It's all about anti-gay vitriol and lofty titles to give the appearance of credibility. One has to wonder what kind of nutjobs make up the rest of the Liberty faculty. True credentials apparently are not required as Right Wing Watch explains here:
*
Once upon a time, Barber was an manager for Allstate Insurance until he was fired for writing anti-gay pieces for right-wing websites like The Conservative Voice and Men's News Daily. That firing transformed him into a right-wing hero and he quickly became Policy Director for Cultural Issues with Concerned Women for America, where he continued his militantly anti-gay diatribes. He was eventually lured away from CWA by the Liberty Counsel where he became Director of Cultural Affairs, as well as the Associate Dean for Career and Professional Development at Jerry Falwell's Liberty University.

*

In just four years, Barber has gone from an unknown employee at an insurance company to an associate dean at a right-wing university thanks solely to his unrelenting hatred of gays.
