Last May, Wichita State University ordered workers to remove all the pews and an altar inside the Harvey D. Grace Memorial Chapel. The pews were ripped from the floor and replaced with portable chairs to make room for Muslim prayer rugs.
“Under the terms of Mrs. Harvey D. Grace’s gift to the university in her will, ‘This chapel will be open to all creeds and to all races of people,’” WSU President John Bardo said in a statement. “Our goal should be exactly what Mrs. Grace set out to do in her gift, to have an all faiths chapel that is welcoming to all religious groups on campus.”

How is removing all the pews being faith neutral to all religions. Christians don't need rugs on the floor.
Just couldn't remove some of the pews or build a room with no pews or altar? The other religions are now the ones being discriminated against. I doubt the donor had this in mind. We are in deep trouble in this nation.
It's always "they"The faceless people who do these things but are never publicly identified.
