Nice see that some people uphold the Christian religion and traditions
WILLIAMSBURG (AP) — A longtime donor to the College of William & Mary will withhold a $12 million pledge to the public university because of the removal of a cross from a campus chapel.
The donation was pledged to the campaign fund before Gene R. Nichol became the university's president and was revoked because the donor disagreed with Mr. Nichol's decision to remove the brass cross from permanent display on the chapel's altar, spokesman Mike Connolly said.
The donor was not identified.
The loss of the funds "represents a serious setback to the college," Mr. Nichol wrote in an e-mailed statement Tuesday afternoon. "While I know it is intended to make a policy statement, ultimately it only hurts our students."
Can you imagine a chapel without a cross? This was done all in the name of multiculturism, ie, taking the Christian religion out of everything even remotely public.
Mr. Nichol's supporters, however, say no cross was displayed in the chapel's early history. They also say the school, which has been public since 1906, is obligated to make people of different faiths feel comfortable.
How about making people of the Christian faith feel comfortable? No one ever seems to worry about that, eh?
I knew lots of people of the Jewish faith growing up. Matter of fact, my grandparents on my Mom's side were Jewish, though they weren't much in the way of practitioners. None of them seemed to mind Christmas, nor coming to our house when a Christmas tree was up.
Nowadays, it is the secular progressives who worry more about keeping God, and, in particular, Jesus, out of everything. They do not seem to worry about keeping Mohammed out of public life, though. A religion based on violence, repression, and degradation of women. That one is A-OK for them.
