NYT Hat Trick of Ignorance
22 November 2004
Adam Liptak's NYT report on Jerry Falwell's Liberty U. law school is a hat trick: Liptak mocks religious conservatives, dismisses religious liberals, and imposes a secular political spectrum on religious belief. Liptak notes that Falwell's male students try to make up for their school's lack of prestige by dressing formally -- as if well-suited tools don't abound in secular law schools as well. When Liberty U.'s dean argues that secular law schools overly prize rationalism, Liptak concedes rationalism as a left tilt. And throughout this misinformed and poorly edited article, Liptak uses "religious" and "conservative" as interchangeable terms.
