“”This did happen but, when we found out at the leadership level, it was changed back,” explained Debra Koeppen, the YMCA’s chief development officer.”

Ah, so “leadership” quashed the will of the people (for the children?).

Like the NAACP, it’s far past time for the YMCA to change the name of their organization, or shut down.

from the article: "The policy that the YMCA has just put out is a victory for those who complained," said Greg Quartucci of Valparaiso, who's been a Y member for more than 15 years. "CNN has been on a TV at the Y for those 15 years, and I am disappointed that the Y removed CNN because of complaints."

I thought about drawing the equivalence of so many towns, schools, and other organizations having to do away with a religious symbol or event, simply because some atheist complained. But, the irony would be wasted on peole like Quartucci.
