Some Faculty Protest Crucifixes at Catholic College
Some Faculty Protests Crucifixes At Catholic College
School Says It's Showing Pride In Jesuit Tradition

BOSTON -- Some faculty members at Boston College are upset that the Catholic university has placed crucifixes in every classroom and other Christian artwork around campus.
But school officials said they are just showing pride in the school's Jesuit tradition.
Biology professor Dan Kirschner, faculty adviser for BC's chapter of the Jewish student group Hillel, said the school is being "insensitive" to people of other faiths.

People need to get a life. If they don't want it go to a PUBLIC school. Are people that are in colleges now really that dumb? If thats the case I should be able to get my PHD in a couple of months just for having common sense.

Simple solution - go to another college.

It is a catholic college, if you are offended by cruxifixes or you do not like then LEAVE, no one is forcing you to stay, the door swings both ways!

......and since there are faculty members that are doing the complaining, maybe they should resign and get a job in the public schools or STFU. This is a Catholic School, they do these sort of things.
