The Offense of the Cross ... at Penn State

I am constantly flabbergasted by the extreme sensibilities of the educated elite. I'm just glad the six complainants and all involved at Penn State did not choose to burn buildings or behead students wearing the offensive t-shirts at the center of a controversy that turns out to be not-much-of-a-controversy. The "religion of peace" would have heads rolling if the shirts had featured pictures of Mohammed.

The t-shirts, as you will see in the picture in the link, do seem to "sport" a cross on the front when it is actually a likeness of the stripe on the helmets of PU's football team. But it certainly startled the bejesus out of a handful of folks (a "handful" if one has six fingers per hand). The Anti-Defamation League joined in to fight this perceived threat of the resurrection of the crucifixion of you-know-who. There was fear apparently, that tents were going to pop up on campus with Pat Robertson preaching to lost souls.

The problem was some who saw the t-shirts being worn on-campus saw something "that some say resembles a cross." It's kinda like those folks who see Mary in urine in the snow, Jesus on a piece of toast, and Elvis at the 7/11. Yes, it's that serious.

But all in all, the school handled it very well. Go PU!
