Trying to imagine exactly how geeky the student body at W&M is to find an over 200 pounder all that entertaining when it comes to stripping.

So fat butts getting naked on a stage is alright because it's labeled freedom of expression, but a cross has to go because of one complaint.
Once again the left shows their rampant hypocrisy.

A classic case of "hit 'em where it hurts"! This is one of the few ways to get the attention of those in the ivory tower.

Publicizing this kind of PC behavior so that alumni and donors know about it is one of the benefits of the new media, because it sure won't show up in the official alumni newsletters...

One complaint to remove the cross and 17,000 to keep it, and he does not know what's right.

And someone put him in charge of something?

My parents were married in the chapel, on Columbia Univirsity.

Wonder if they still have one?

Nichol, who has actively worked with American Civil Liberties Union chapters in North Carolina and Colorado

That's all you need to know.
No way will any kid of mine ever go to a decadent, athiest, perverse college like William and Mary.

O'Connor, who became chancellor of the college after retiring from the Supreme Court has repeatedly failed to return calls from WND about the cross controversy.

Coward.

Liberals have the same moral compass that the rest of us do. That is the only way to explain how they can act in a manner so perfectly opposed to it at every juncture.

Nichol, who has actively worked with American Civil Liberties Union chapters in North Carolina and Colorado, e-mailed the "college community" admitting he "acted too quickly and should have consulted more broadly" in the decision to remove the cross. To make up, he dictated, a plaque would be put up in the chapel and the cross would be put on the altar for extended hours on Sunday.

Is this the same ACLU guy who got busted for Child porn? Or was that different ACLU member?

It is getting more difficult to tell "who is who" in the ACLU nowadays...

From campus news:- A discussion on Broke Back Mountain, co-sponsored with LAMBA Alliance, between the 7.30pm and 10.30 pm screenings of the film, UC Commonwealth.

Anyone doubt there is a culture war on?

Withholding the money worked at one of my schools, we got rid of the stupid president and few of the trustees.

It's common knowledge among us Virginia college students that the social life at WM is terrible and the workload is atrocious. WM folks looking for parties and such usually come here to U.Va., so I can understand how they would get crazy so easily for Nichols' little X-rated freak show.

"..remove a donated brass cross from the historic Wren Chapel.."

I must be missing something here? Don't crosses belong in chapels? Maybe this story is about North Korea, Saudi Arabia, or Iran?

To: Scotsman will be Free

it also shows something else that should encourage

Attacks on the Cross and Christ only come because the Dark Side knows there is Power in the Symbology of the Cross
and the words and truth of Christ.
