Patriotic students are infuriated after the Pledge of Allegiance and the Presentation of Colors were removed from Seattle Pacific University’s Veteran’s Day chapel over fears they might offend people.

They have a cross and a bible somewhere.
I call them retards.
They did the service with the flag and pledge yesterday. I didn’t go because I am less than thrilled with Campus Ministry right now.
The cross and bible are not no doubt hidden away so no one need be offended by them.
>> over fears they might offend people

If you are worried about offending people why even have a veterans day program?
This guy needs to be the EX Chaplain
Methodists, again? They pulled this stuff in my old community of Ocean Grove once. Claiming people would be insulted by THE AMERICAN FLAG.
The Chaplain has fears?
Christ died for us and the military heroes died for us - but clearly that Chaplain is still afraid that Satan might be offended???????????????????????????????
If it keeps on raining, the levee’s going to break.
All the SJW trouble is going to get worse in the near term because obama and the other globalists want to take attention away from what is happening in Europe right now which is coming soon to the USA.
Maybe these fake Christians would prefer to live on the soviet union where religion was outlawed?
Can’t have people who come here illegally getting a free education offended now, do we?
The Methodists in question are Free Methodists, a separate denomination that is much smaller than the Untied Methodists. The Free Methodists are said to be more evangelical than the United Methodists.
Evangelicals who don’t like the flag?
It’s about time Chistian white males start filing thousands of lawsuits against the ACLU and every liberal group out there. Force these groups to start spending money.
If you don’t stand up to bullies, they will keep doing what they are doing. I am trend of turning the other cheek.
Cut off all federal funding and see how quickly they change their tune. Bastards!
