University officials stand by decision to digitally remove symbol of Christian cross off students

Officials at Louisiana State University defended their decision on Thursday to publish a photo in which they removed symbols of the Christian cross worn by students at Saturdayâ€™s football game.

It's hard to say what's worse: petty official censors (it took me awhile to find the crosses), or clownish students who disregard â€œYoung men likewise exhort to be sober mindedâ€, Titus 2:6 (should Leviticus be unconvincing).
