Liberty University announced this week that Mitt Romney, the presumptive Republican presidential nominee, would be this year's commencement speaker. The university's announcement noted that Ronald Reagan spoke at Liberty's commencement in 1980, shortly before his election as president. Many students and some other supporters of the university are upset, arguing that they believe Romney -- as a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints -- is not a Christian. Numerous comments have been posted on the Liberty Facebook page, and are attracting support. CNN reported. One student's comment: "Liberty University should have gotten a Christian to speak not someone who practices a cult. Shame on you Liberty University."
