Minneapolis Community and Technical College has a policy that strictly prohibits religious displays. For example, this past Christmas season a memo from Dianna Cusick, director of legal affairs and President Phil Davis, warned against any public display of holiday cheer: As we head into the holiday season, all public offices and areas should refrain from displays that may represent to our students, employees or the public that the college is promoting any particular religion.
Nevertheless, the college is planning to use taxpayer funds to install facilities for Muslim ritual foot-washing. School officials are going on a junket to visit a community college in Illinois to view similar facilities there.
Davis justified the disparate treatment by pointing out the differences between Muslims and those of other faiths. The foot-washing facilities are not about religion, they are about public safety, Davis said. Christians and Jews arent going to kill anyone over this issue. Muslims are different. Weve already received threats saying the college will be bombed if we refuse to build this facility. So, as anyone can see, were not promoting the Muslim religion. Were saving the lives of our students and faculty.

They could clean their feet with wet wipes. Special foot washes are not necessary.
