The New Face of Christian Legal Education

key-adam200.jpg

Regent Law, the Christian law school founded by Pat Robertson, is moving forward with disciplinary action against student Adam Key (left, showing off his "Due Process" tattoo). Key ran afoul of school authorities after posting on his Facebook page a video of Robertson scratching his forehead with his middle finger. Regent has banned Key from campus and is forcing him to undergo a psychiatric exam by a doctor of the school's choosing.

The whole episode reflects the Religious Right's utter lack of a sense of humor. Key talked to Above the Law blogger David Lat yesterday about his recent suspension and his background (which includes a stint as a pro wrestler). Here's what Key had to say about Robertson and his pending psych exam:

"I will undergo this psychiatric exam after Regent forces Pat Robertson to undergo one. Truly, what's crazier... disagreeing with the administration, or hearing voices that tell you about hurricanes that don't happen, and the impending apocalypse?"

Clearly they're never going to let this kid loose on campus again...

Does the "Religious Right" need a sense of humor? This is law school and not Comedy Central. Key has only told you selected bits of his incredibly bone-headed behavior, and you boneheads have duly reported it!

Since Adam can't seem to get his own story straight, anyone interested in what's really going on can feel free to e-mail me. While I agree that the whole "gun charge" thing is a little fishy with the timing, Adam seems to be overlooking a few key things (wow, that was a baaaaaaaaaaaaaaad pun).
