Leftist “Principles” Dissolved by Money

Posted on March 6, 2007

We read:

“A compromise announced today will permanently return a brass cross to the chapel at the College of William and Mary in a prominent display rather than its previous altar post.

The compromise was offered as a recommendation by a panel comprising alumni, students and others formed by President Gene Nichol [above] in response to outcry created by his decision to remove the cross…..

Some College of William and Mary alumni began holding back donations until it was permanently restored.

A pity, though, that it took money to do what the courts and the First Amendment could not. If I were a Christian who went into that chapel for prayer and mediation, I would think that my freedom to exercise my religion was GREATLY interfered with by the removal of the cross.
