TYT: Ted Cruz Forces Liberty University Students To Attend His Speech

[WhoIsNumberNone]

"While Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) received a very warm welcome from most of the 10,000 Liberty University students present at his presidential campaign kickoff, not all were happy that they had to attend the event or face a fine.

One of those annoyed students was junior Eli McGowan, who runs the Students for Rand club in support of Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.). 'We were upset about it,' he told BuzzFeed. 'We know that Ted Cruz knows this and it's a smart idea to have a captive audience to announce your campaign. To have 10,000 people show up. Most students take this as a tacit endorsement. People on Facebook have been saying, oh the board wouldn't have allowed him to come if they didn't think he was the right candidate.'” *

1. Cruz is not running for president but for higher paid speaking fees

2. Not quite accurate Jenk....

It is liberty university that requiers every student to attend EVERY event the school
runs or face a $10 for not not attending.

But then, that's the only way to ensure that their indoctrination practices are effective.
