Ben Stein - Liberty University Convocation
On November 5, 2012 at Liberty University Convocation, North America's largest weekly gathering of Christian students, Ben Stein spoke about the moral crisis that faces America. Stein also drew on his background as a political speechwriter to discuss various moral issues facing America. He expounded on six moral issues that he sees as problems facing the nation: the national debt, a declining work ethic, pornography, the collapse of the family system, the decline in the quality of education, and abortion.
Though this was his first time speaking to a Convocation crowd, Stein has visited Liberty several times in the past few years, including in May 2009 when he delivered the Commencement address.
Stein is a prominent economist, columnist, and lawyer, but is also well known for his acting as the monotone professor in "Ferris Beuller's Day Off" and the the spokesperson for Clear Eyes.
