A picture of Jesus was taken down from an Ohio government school because of legal challenges. (I’ll get to why I’m in favor of the picture’s removal in a moment.) The picture has hung in Jackson Middle School since 1947 when schools didn’t need metal detectors and zero tolerance rules

Extremism seems to be the norm on today’s college campuses. Actually, it’s more likely that the extremists have taken over the channels of power. The same thing happened on college campuses in the 1960s and early 1970s. The majority of students were in college to get their degrees so they
