William & Mary President at the Crossroads?

As noted in a February 3 post, William & Mary College has been debating the "appropriateness" of displaying an antique cross in a 275 year-old chapel. (?! Yes, I know.) The cross was first removed, then returned after student protests, to be "displayed in a glass case." I suppose school officials wanted to send the message that the cross is simply an arcane symbol of some lost, quaint civilization that is better "interpreted" as a museum piece. You see, if we put it in a "museum" for "interpretation" then someone much smarter and educated than the rest of us can tell us what the cross really means, i.e. everything bad in the world. Ah, yes it sounds all too familiar, does it not? Certainly don't want to lead anyone to believe that the chapel was designed as a Christian sanctuary to worhsip the God of the Bible; might offend someone don't you know?

Well it seems that the school's actions may be having some unintended consequences; such as losing a $12 million donation. Ouch! The school's anti-Christian bias had already led to an injunction against the school from a federal judge. Slow learners these pc folks. Maybe they need someone to interpret these things for them.

Not too long after the "offensive" cross was removed, the school was the scene of the "Sex Workers Art Show" which featured topless dancers, demonstrations of sex toys, and Q&A time with male and female prostitutes. The stated goal was to empower "sex workers." (?! Yes, I know.) College President Gene Nichols said of the "art show" that "it's not the practice and province of universities to censor or cancel performances because they are controversial." Unless, of course, it involves Christianity. At least they're consistent.

Now the students are wanting to crucify the college president. Most liberals love rebellion against school authority. Let's see how well they like this rebellion.
