In 2019, Liberty University opened a “think tank” aimed at providing fodder for the Christian Nationalist side of the culture wars. The “Falkirk Center for Faith and Liberty” — named after Liberty’s then-President Jerry Falwell, Jr. and Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk — was intended to “equip courageous champions to proclaim the Truth of Jesus Christ, to advance His Kingdom, and renew American ideals.”

It ended up being a haven for right-wing Christians to spread their political propaganda… which everyone predicted given the two people whose names were portmanteau’d together to create it.

And now it’s officially dead.

Or at least completely rebranding now that Charlie Kirk’s contract won’t be renewed.

We already knew Jerry Falwell Jr. was out of the picture. After his colossal creepy sex scandal last year, more than 400 current students and alumni called for the school to remove any association with the Falkirk Center because they believed it was taking the focus off of Jesus.
