The cross from the altar area of the chapel at the College of William & Mary in Williamsburg, Va., has been removed to ensure the space is seen as a nondenominational area, explains Melissa Engimann, assistant director for Historic Campus.

"In order to make the Wren Chapel less of a faith-specific space, and to make it more welcoming to students, faculty, staff and visitors of all faiths, the cross has been removed from the altar area," Engimann announced in an e-mail to staff.

The cross will be returned to the altar for those who wish to use it for events, services or private prayer.

The cross was in place because of the college's former association with the Anglican Church. Though the college is now nondenominational and became publicly supported in 1906, the room will still be considered a chapel, college officials said.

This is kind of a private matter - it's not like this came from a court order, etc.

So it really is non of our business.

The chapel is part of the Wren Building, the oldest academic building in America. It's had a cross in it since the chapel was added in 1732.

This is akin to what the Bolsheviks did to Russian religious history during their tyranny.

I live in Virginia. W&M is a "public" school.

It's my biz.

Then the cross should be removed since the state should not fund a religous specific chapel.

By that reasoning, the publicly funded 'Holocaust' Museum in DC should have all of the six-pointed stars removed.

The larger issue is that the State has no business supporting universities.

A) I am against the existence of the Holocaust musuem in America - if it should exist anywhere it should be in Berlin/Europe.

With that said:

B) The Star of David was used as a identifying symbol by the Nazis so you could not have it removed from a museum that touches on the subject.

C) Was not the schismatic and heretical Anglican church founded by an overweight serial killer?

The German Nazis used the genocide and 'ethnic cleansing' of Native Americans as one of the models to plan and execute their genocide and ethnic cleansing of those they found odious.

I would keep the museum and make the Shoah exhibit a wing. It needs exhibits showing what happened to 'New World' peoples, and to peoples in all the other corners of the world when their particular 'holocausts' happened.

The lesson that the museum teaches is an important one, it just need to be reorganized and changed to show that this is a sort of thing that has happened in different degrees at different times in human history.

To make it just cover the Shoah, it sends the false message that what the Nazis did was highly unusual, when in fact, it isn't. The museum is needed because this sort of thing will happen again if we don't use all the tools at our disposal to remember history to keep from repeating it.

Only if one ignores the purposeful distortion of history to benefit Jewish power in America and the world.

"Only if one ignores the purposeful distortion of history to benefit Jewish power in America and the world."

I see all people of all races, creeds, and ethnic groups as capable of doing genocide and ethnic cleansing by virtue that so many of all varieties have.

And I see nothing wrong with a museum that teaches about that in order to help prevent that from happening again.

I don't want to see anyone doing this for any reason. No human has a right to judge themselves better and more fitting to own, run or control things then another.

So I support a museum like this one. To make it just cover one episode of the problem only helps compound the problems being addressed though.

I just do not see the Jewish people as the monsters or monolith of a source of all human greed and intrigue. They are merely a player that has their saints and scoundrels like anyone else.

I see using a group to form wedge issues as a component of the problem the museum should be addressing in more expansive a form.

Thus I refuse to make people targets based on their race, creed or ethnic background at all.

That horrifies me and my mind absolutely rejects doing that. If someone is exploiting someone through economic games, they should be investigated prosecuted and punished for this. But making their faith or ethnic background a paramount aspect of doing so is flat wrong.

Whatever a Jewish banker can do, Goyem bankers can do after the Jewish ones are gone.

I see a niche that exists that will be filled regardless of who does the filling as nature abhors a vacuum.

The important thing is to get rid of the niche, not pick on the occupants and all others like her or him of the same variety.

You are free to not agree, but that is how I see the situation and should be addressed to some extent.

Example of how the problem is more complex: Mormons, (who also call non believers Goyem) are very fast building a huge financial empire as a component to what is perceived as an attempt for religious, political and economic hegemony. Many want them slapped down systemically, with all Mormons paying for the sins of the leadership.

I am also against this, and just want the scammers and power and capital hungry criminals among them investigated, prosecuted and punished too.

Get rid of all Jewish people, a faith like the Mormon one will move in and flesh out where they were in every aspect and endeavor any Jews now are engaged in.

I feel you look at the problem in too one dimensional and narrow a manner, you likely feel the same about how I look at this.

That's politics for you.

I believe they call us Gentiles, not Goyem.

And, if you support this museum in DC, do you also support the mandatory viewing of SCHINDLER'S LIST by all New Jersey public school students at the order of then Gov. Christine Todd Whitman?

SCHINDLER'S LIST

C'mon, doggie. That movie is 100% true fact and you know it. Hollywood doesn't lie.

It wasn't a lie but an omission that upset me.

Oskar Schindler bribed an official and purchased guns and trained his factory workers in their use, in case the fleeing Joymans decided to slaughter them.

This didn't make it into the film because A) much of the organized gun control movement today is funded and driven by non-Christians, particularly those in New York City, and B) it would raise the question of why Jews didn't defend themselves, but allowed one Hitler youth with an unloaded rifle to herd them into box cars?

A good point and one that seems to be lost when the "holocaust" is taught at the various museums. An armed populace is safer from tyranny than an unarmed populace.
