Avowed Christian Demands Name of Christ be Covered

(CNSNews.com) - Georgetown University says it covered over the monogram “IHS”--symbolizing the name of Jesus Christ—because it was inscribed on a pediment on the stage where President Obama spoke at the university on Tuesday and the White House had asked Georgetown to cover up all signs and symbols there.
 
As of Wednesday afternoon, the “IHS” monogram that had previously adorned the stage at Georgetown’s Gaston Hall was still covered up--when the pediment where it had appeared was photographed by CNSNews.com.

“In coordinating the logistical arrangements for yesterday’s event, Georgetown honored the White House staff’s request to cover all of the Georgetown University signage and symbols behind Gaston Hall stage,” Julie Green Bataille, associate vice president for communications at Georgetown, told CNSNews.com.

Maybe Obama is trying to show the Arabs he's breaking away from those who endorse Pro-Zionist sentiments.

No mention in the article as to whether this has ever happened before with other Presidents...either there or other places.

If this is unique then it is unsettling.

I know John Ashcroft was pilloried and mocked for having the naughty bits of statues at the DoJ covered.
