What William and Mary Will Show

By removing the Wren Chapel cross and insuring that no one takes offense at those pesky signs of the religious heritage of William and Mary, the college administration was merely protecting the rarefied sensitivities of those students who feel left out of the Christian World View. Those students who must be wrapped in a cocoon of 21 Century ACLU approved nondenominational safety.
However in the spirit of broadening the educational scope of those same students the University Center has just played hosts to the Sex Workers Art Show on one of its two stops in Virginia. This "empowering" use of student fees was defended by the school provost...
"Sure, there are folks who are quite sensitive to this matter," said W and M provost Geoffrey Feiss. "It is controversial, but universities exist to evaluate and deal with controversy. If we aren't doing that, then we probably aren't doing our job."
Oh, there's that word again. "Sensitive".


We can at least be glad they didn't decide to put the show on in the Wren Chapel.
