This sounds like a tempest in a teapot - you made it sound like the government was coming in and tearing down crosses. Did Georgetown U. make a big deal of it?

I disagree. Katz did nothing of the sort.
The White House knew what their institution was based on. Why should they have to cover up anything?
Either accept them as they are and what they stand for or don't accept the invitation.
TSK TSK TSK to Georgetown for going against their principles and a double TSK TSK TSK to the White House for asking them to do it.
