To spare my friends on BGR most of my Trump bashing, I have been spending the past few days building up my small Twitter following (only 16 followers at this time). So far, the two best known people who have begun following me are Dr. Everett Piper, President of Oklahoma Wesleyan University and Jonathan Hoenig of capitalistpig.com and a panelist on Fox News Channel's Cashin' In (a regular panelist), Your World with Neil Cavuto, and Red Eye.
Dr. Piper wrote an article today that appears on thefederalist.com, which I encourage everybody who still support Donald Trump to read. I had not heard of Dr. Piper but my wife remembered him as the author of "This is Not a Day Care. It’s a University!" which he wrote during the recent turmoil at the University of Missouri.
I have always been skeptical of Twitter but after immersing myself in it during our 30 inch snow storm, I confess that I am amazed at the amount of information available there. Not just information, reliable information tweeted by some very smart people. Of course, most of what gets tweeted is garbage, but what I like is that I have a great deal of control over what kind of information I see. If you have not given Twitter a fair trial, I encourage that you give it a try.

Quote:An Evangelical Leader Explains Why Donald Trump Won’t Be Invited To Speak At His University
I refuse to let my desire to win “trump” my moral compass. I will not sell my soul or my university’s to a political process that values victory more than virtue.
JANUARY 28, 2016 By Everett Piper
On January 18, Jerry Falwell, Jr. welcomed Donald Trump to Liberty University to speak in the school’s chapel. (Editor’s note: after this post was originally authored, Jerry Falwell, Jr. officially endorsed endorsed Donald Trump.)
As the college president who wrote the “this is not a daycare” article that received so much national attention recently, I have been asked by the media if I would be next: Will I be inviting Mr. Trump to Oklahoma Wesleyan University to speak in our chapel service?
My answer has been simple and brief. No, I will not.
