Hit ‘Em Where It Hurts
Filed under: Liberalism, Philanthropy, Religion, Virginia, Virginia Politics
For the last few months a controversy has been brewing in Williamsburg, Virginia. Gene Nichol, president of the College of William and Mary ordered the removal of a cross on the altar of Wren Chapel on the university’s campus. Nichol claimed that he wanted to make the chapel welcoming to non-Christians.
Do you find something wrong with this picture? Wren Chapel was built as an Anglican chapel. Michelle and I were married there in 1986. Trust me, we didn’t have a Buddhist ceremony. I don’t go around asking that a cross be placed in the local mosque. Why then should a cross be removed from the altar of a Christian chapel?
Nichol has since backed down under a barrage of protest. This however does not solve the underlying problem. Liberals like Nichol merely chalk events like this up to a minor defeat and then wait for the next opportunity to attack our religious values.
Enter James W. McGlothlin, chairman and CEO of The United Company. Mr. McGlothlin, a former member of William and Mary’s Board of Visitors, has decided to withhold his $12 million pledge to the school. Only when more philanthropists like Mr. McGlothlin stop funding liberals like Nichol will these people start to get the message.

Glad to hear McGlothin cracked the whip…I’m tired of these Regents and Philanthropists not standing up for the principles on which this country was founded. They’ve let these textbook pariahs hide out on college campuses and spew their garbage throughout my lifetime…I witnessed it in the late ’60s at UofMD and unfortunately the products of those days are the current members of academia in control of what curricula is taught, what textbooks are used, and are the self-appointed guardians of free speech…free as long as it follows their mantra. The regents and philanthropists…who by the way are most likely highly successful capitalists, should demand the resignation of idiots like Nichol, or that buffoon (can’t remember his name) professor who chastised and failed his students who questioned his “Holocaust was a hoax” diatribe. Thanks for the post…maybe others will follow McGlothin’s lead.
Nichol inadvertently testified to the Truth that is behind the Cross. The Cross is the “crux” of time, the single most important event in history, and it would seem that even non-Christians understand that. By trying to remove it from its natural setting, and trying to remove it from the sight of those who do not wish to face it even there, this fool inadvertently underscored its power.
AMEN!
