Unfortunately, the pro-religion case is based on the same rancid misreading of the Constitution as the anti-religion case. Liberals have perverted, "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion," into "Nobody can say or do anything, if it's even vaguely related to a religious or moral belief, that somebody else doesn't like." Conservatives should not jump on the bandwagon.
The courts are the problem, not the solution.

Nobody can say or do anything, if it's even vaguely related to a religious or moral belief, that somebody else doesn't like." Washburn University is a public school. No governmental organization has any place whatsoever in financing or supporting art work denigrating a particular religion, or religion in general.
If the courts are going to follow the incorporation doctrine and apply the first amendment to the states, then we would be fools to let them apply a "first amendment" that reads "nobody shall make any law respecting an establishment of religion, except that it's okay to use tax dollars to trash Catholicism".
