It seems the president of William and Mary is being fired for taking down a cross from a multi-faith worship room. From an entirely normative standpoint, was this the right decision? It is a multi-faith worship room, and Christianity is a faith, so why can't it be present? Does it really matter so much where the cross should be placed, if it is higher or bigger than the other religious symbols? Is this a case of American secularism which is meant to make other religions feel more welcome or French secularism which is meant to abolish the practice of religion in public places?
