House Speaker Mike Johnson was once the dean of a Christian law school. It never opened its doors

  1. Maybe he can still get it up and running. I hear Trump has good advice on running a university

  2. How did the students get into class then?

    I’ll see myself out.

  3. Fraud and probably money laundering. No wonder MAGA got behind him, they love that shit.

  4. One word: fascism.

    Barry Goldwater back in the ye olde 1960s-1970s warned about the GOP being taken over full cloth by extremist Right wing Evangelicalism with no compromise in the horrific belief they were ordained by God to do so: this is the natural result, 60 years later, in Speaker Mike Johnson.

  5. A remake of Green Acres??!!

    If this were a movie no one would believe it . . .

  6. Amazing how these people continually fail upwards. The rest of us have to live a pretty mistake free lifestyle to not end up homeless.

  7. Because real lawyers would destroy these Christian lawyers? And they would be unhireable?

  8. Day one 10 commandments. Day two graduation.
    Christian medical school: Day one pray. Day two graduation.

  9. I love how all these PR pieces are trying to get this dude’s name in your head. Something to get mad about … aren’t y’all bored with the antics of all of it yet?

  10. Christian Law School? Do they teach you how to violate the constitution there rather than uphold it?

  11. So implied air quotes then, right? To correct the headline, he was the ‘dean’ of a ‘Christian law school’ that never opened its doors. Out of curiosity, did it use Donald Trump’s name?

  12. >Five years later, Pressler, the school’s namesake, was sued in a civil case that has since grown to include allegations of abuse by multiple men who say he sexually assaulted them, **some when they were children**.

    This is why they point fingers at others.

  13. To be fair, the school’s Latin Motto was:

    #Ianua Clausa Et Mentes

    (“Closed Doors and Minds”)

  14. They should have just appointed for Santos. It would have been a more honest dishonest approach.

  15. >The establishment of the Judge Paul Pressler School of Law was supposed to be a capstone achievement for Louisiana College, which administrators boasted would “unashamedly embrace” a “biblical worldview.” Instead, it collapsed roughly a decade ago without enrolling students or opening its doors amid infighting by officials, accusations of financial impropriety and difficulty obtaining accreditation, which frightened away would-be donors

    >For several years before Johnson’s arrival, the college had been in a state of turmoil following a board takeover by conservatives who felt the school had become too liberal. They implemented policies that restricted academic freedoms, including the potential firing of instructors whose curriculum touched upon sexual morality or teachings contradictory to the Bible.

    >The school’s president and other faculty resigned, and the college was placed on probation by an accreditation agency.

    So it was a shit show.

    Accreditation is a tough process, especially if your school is in chaos and upheaval from board and administrative infighting. I’m sure the embezzlement from one of the administrators didn’t help.

    From the article, it looks like Johnson came in to try to right this tilting ship and failed. He doesn’t seem to be accused of impropriety or wrongdoing here…

    …but it is telling that he looked at this shit show and thought *I will be the savior here! I will get things on track!*

    Kind of like his Speakership. Wonder if it will end the same way 🤔

  16. Fraud is as fraud does.

    But we’re the sinners……

  17. Now here’s a guy who obviously wears lipstick and high heels when home alone. Silk Stocking Speaker.
