William & Mary says: Welcome Vampires

After William & Mary's collapse over the feather issue it seems that controversies are flowing fast and furious at the venerable institution. It almost seems as if they're doing their Anglophillic best to copy the mind bending Political Correctness that has so smothered the British Isles.
So in the name of inclusivenes and the apparent spirit of Halloween the college administration has decided to remove the cross from the altar of the two hundred fifty odd year old Wren Chapel. That's right, they're making a chapel a more toloerant place by making it...well...a less Christian place. In their words...


"In order to make the Wren Chapel less of a faith-specific space, and to make it more welcoming to students, faculty, staff and visitors of all faiths, the cross has been removed from the altar area,"

"less of a faith-specific space"... A chapel... A chapel with a crypt no less.
It makes you wonder who at the college has been complaining about coming upon a cross in a building that has been designated a chapel since 1722.
More words of wisdom from college administrators...


Whether celebrating our happiest moments, marking our greatest achievements, or finding solace during our most profound sadness, our chapel, like our entire campus, must be welcoming to all.


Aawww...how comforting...the solace of church desecration.
We obviously need more Virginians like this...

Why not just rename it the William & Mary Wren Ecumenical Community Center and Madrass?
