"Western Kentucky University officials said they are investigating allegations that campus police refused to stop students from placing condoms on hundreds of crosses that had been set up as part of a massive student pro-life display."

"As many as 4,000 crosses had been erected ... by Hilltoppers For Life, a student-led pro-life group. The students had applied for and had received permission from the university to create the display...And late Thursday night Sohl and his brother found two people dressed in black vandalizing the display."They were putting condoms on every single cross in our display,” Sohl told Fox News. “She said she was doing it for an art project. She was desecrating the crosses for class credit.”

"Sohl called campus police – but they refused to intervene – citing First Amendment concerns."


Campus Police Allow Students to Desecrate Crosses | FOX News & Commentary: Todd Starnes


I think mandatory enrollment in a course on the Constitution and the real meaning of Free Speech is in line for the Campus Police. Although, judging by the reports of other members of the faculty here, I doubt you'd be able to find such a course on this campus.

Who says there isn't a war on religion?

That's "art" to pro-abortion liberals. That's their mentality. That's what they embrace. And that's the future of this country. It's disgusting.

The prove their selves to be less than animal behavior. Our college's are becoming and embarrassment, but we keep passing out those student loans to these elite brats.

Some people hate Christ, Who only died for their sins so that they could have eternal life.

The left has become an insane bunch in this day and time, supporting everything vile, while at the same time suppressing everything wholesome.

I'd have to say the "pro life" group initiated this, when they picked a religious icon to try to make a policitcal statement. Turnabout is fair play.

Please explain your point of view.

Do you find something wrong with Christianity or the Cross? Do you not like Jesus?

I find something wrong when those that claim to love Jesus and respect the cross as a religious icon twisting the meaning of that icon into a mindless little trinket for a political statement. Have a little respect for the cross, it actually means something to some people.

I like Jesus. I just can't stand most of his self-righteous, ignorant followers.


Does putting up lots of Crosses on the campus of a Public University funded by the State violate the 1st Amendment?
