Sounds like this student needs to tell other students to wear their crosses. In defiance.

When the revolution comes I sure hope that the Patriots don’t forget to clean out these nests of vipers.

They will get cleaned out one way or another. Tar and Feathers will come back.

Yep, just as soon as he’s released from the hospital.

Did she remove her cross? Or keep wearing it in sight?

I thought the same thing.

The university president can't contact an employee of said university to apologize?

He sure can find each employee to ask for donations to the cause.

“The “supervisor” who ordered the removal of the cross should be fired.”


They cover for each other. We had one who sent work/study student employees ( 10%/90% federal/state $) to her house to babysit her chilluns.

They buried that like a dead skunk — major coverup but all the staff knew about it. Couldn’t rat her out because she was sleeping with the dept. head and sucked-up BIG time to the vice-chancellor. A decade after I left in disgust, they got her out of the dept. An art professor in a computer/networking services dept == teats on a boar hawg.

Academia is AT LEAST as corrupt as govt.

In my younger days I might acquiesce to his request, but these days I’d tell him to take a flying leap into the nearest lake.

Thanks SeekAndFind.
A Sonoma State University student has filed a religious accommodation request after she said she was ordered to remove her cross necklace because it might offend other students.

Every Christian at this indoctrination mill should wear the biggest cross they can find tomorrow.

Make sure there is enough evidence to convict you should Christianity ever become a crime.

Good one! Too true!

Apparently, the supervisor was acting on his own, and not as the enforcer of college policy.

The college seems to be responding appropriately.

What's the big shock? Christianity is offensive. Scripture sez so.
