New Update on the Wren Cross at College of William and Mary

Charlotte, NC (TLS). The scandal surrounding the removal of a Cross from the historic Wren Chapel at the College of William and Mary is still brewing. The Liberty Sphere has reported on this story a couple of time over the past few months. Today we have received updated information that indicates students and alums are still fuming over the actions of the college president, who unilaterally made the decision to remove the Cross, and then unilaterally decided on a compromise that he hoped would placate his critics.

They are not impressed.

Over 10,000 signatures have been placed on a petition drive to restore the Wren Cross to its rightful home in the chapel.

The Liberty Sphere had previously called for the dismissal of the college president by the Board of Trustees. This has yet to happen. Yet, as you will read in the article below, the General Assembly of the State of Virginia is threatening action unless the Cross is restored.

Perhaps the Trustees of the college had better get a move on doing something about their wayward President, or else the state of Virginia will intervene. And from what we can tell, the legislature is none too pleased that the Cross was removed.
