Cross restored at College of William and Mary

The college removed a cross from the campus chapel after receiving complaints. Fox News:

    A compromise announced today will permanently return a brass cross to the chapel at the College of William and Mary in a prominent display rather than its previous altar post.

    The compromise was offered as a recommendation by a panel comprising alumni, students and others formed by President Gene Nichol in response to outcry created by his decision to remove the cross.

    "This has been a challenging task for the committee, but it has produced a compromise that allows for permanent display of the cross in the chapel, while remaining welcoming to all," Nichols told the Associated Press.

O'Reilly had a college alumnus on his show Tuesday evening who used the Freedom of Information Act to obtain complaints about the cross. There was only one complaint! The college removed a cross from its chapel because of A SINGLE COMPLAINT.

This is a job for Blobby! Neutral in color, shape, gender and religious affiliation, he's the only religious symbol incapable of offending anyone. Blobby is "welcoming to all."
