in Newberg:
Administrators at George Fox University are trying to figure out who hung what appears to be a life-sized effigy of Barack Obama outside a college campus in Newburg.
It appeared whoever did it, had a specific target.
The attached message referred to the Act Six program at George Fox University, which is a scholarship program for minorities.
…
It was hanging from the neck with fishing line at the campus communications building, a campus spokesman confirmed.
…
“We will not tolerate such displays and condemn it in the strongest terms,” said President Baker. “George Fox University is committed to becoming a place that more broadly represents the Kingdom of God – a place where students from diverse backgrounds come together to live out the teachings of Jesus in our world. We are all created in the image of God and placed in this world to reflect the character of God.”
I guess not everybody there thinks we are all created in the image of God.
OH NOES, A BLACK MAN WILL BE PRESIDENT! MY TINY LITTLE PENIS WILL DISAPPEAR COMPLETELY!
UPDATE - Jill tells of similar sentiments in Morris County, NJ.
