(foxnews.com) “WTKR-TV in Hampton Roads, Va. reports that officials at the College of William and Mary have removed a gold cross from a campus chapel in the spirit of diversity and to make the chapel more “welcoming to all.”
The gold cross has been on the altar of the Sir Christopher Wren Chapel for more than 60 years.
“The effort here is to make certain that everyone feel it’s their space,” said William and Mary’s vice president of student affairs, Sam Sadler. “Also, we are a public university, committed to serving everyone.” (source)

For starters, if a person cannot accept the fact that there are other people in the world that hold different ideologies than themselves, the it is they that need to make a change. I do not expect the mosques in my area to erect crosses on their buildings, nor do I expect Muslim-based countries to make accommodation for my Christianity. So why should we bury a piece of this nation’s history in the name of “accommodation”? My advice? The door swings both ways.
