(CNSNews.com) - The president of a Virginia college who removed a historical cross from the school's chapel to make it more welcoming is taking flak for allowing the performance of a risqué show and justifying it by invoking the need to "avoid censorship."
The "Sex Workers' Art Show," a performance by people linked to the "sex industry" showing the "art" in their work, came to the College of William and Mary earlier this month as part of a nationwide tour. The show was held on campus, but not in the chapel.
The show is described as "an eye-popping evening of visual and performance art created by people in the sex industry to dispel the myth that they are anything short of artists, innovators, and geniuses."

Just place the crucifix that was removed into a jar of urine and place it back into the chapel.
Problem solved.

Without question, the best hat in the movie.
This society is sick and getting sicker, GG Liddy.
Sounds like he's remaking the college in his own image.
When will the sight of the Cross being offensive to non-Christians become the "existence" of Christians being offensive? Oh that's right. It already is.

Not from Doc, but, ...skin that smokewagon."
The first thing that popped into my head was the narrative in Portnoy's Complaint where the title character reveals his ambition of painting his ceiling from the comfort of his bed; now, that's innovative and creative.
