What about masonic logos in the media? Or they do not count? These people are two-faced.
 
I don’t know of any Masonic logos in the media, but would object to them as well certainly. I can’t see an image of what the proposed city logo looked like, so I’m admittedly just going on the facts as put forth in this article, but this seems an appropriate step to me.🤷 I don’t see what’s upsetting about this. A city is a secular, public entity, and therefore probably should avoid having crosses, or pentagrams, or the star of David, for that matter, incorporated into its actual logo. I’m sorry, but I have to agree wih this group in this particular instance.

I think the big outcry here is the reason they were removed from the Steubenville logo. The city was pressured to remove it (Christ the King Chapel) because secularists didn’t want to see anything religious in the logo. The problem is that the Franciscan University of Steubenville is a major part of the city and has put Steubenville on the map in many ways. It has brought revenue and recongnition to a city that would be otherwise unknown.
Also, a professor from Franciscan University also wrote about it. What was sad was that, in the comments, there were people talking about bringing an LBGT conference to Steubenville just to spite them. It was really quite sad. It is also hard for me, because Steubenville is where my faith life really was born and was lit. It hurts to see something that dear to me thrown under the rug.
 
I’m just waiting for this group to file suit to change the names of San Francisco, Los Angeles, and St. Paul MN, among others.

Don’t for get about San Diego, St. Louis, and any religiously named city…

I looked at the comments of the article, and there was a man claiming he was not a religious person and he too was saddened by the fact that people filed a lawsuit for this declaring that he can see that the university has a big impact on the city.

I don’t think people understand that there is no law or amendment saying “separation of church and state”, people just assume that’s what the first amendment says, but it isn’t.

Religious persecution continues (and quite possibly by people who claim to fight for “equality” for all people).
 
I’m going to be a little ornery here and suggest that the next time the PC-police try something like this, people shout “Religiophobes!” at them. 😃

Interesting that the university is what you say put the city on the map…but subjective. For me, Steubenville is the home town of Dean Martin, so that’s what I tend to think of:shrug:

The logo had been designed by a Franciscan University alum so FU ran an article about it on their website.

Hmm, the logo seems fairly harmless to me, but that could be my Catholic bias showing. What if it was Toledo’s logo being discussed, and it similarly displayed the crescent moon for their Islamic center? I think some folks objecting to this might feel differently in that case…

Perhaps you’re correct. I’ve grown up around a lot of Catholics, so there seems to be a universal recongition of the summer conference as well as the University itself. Most people I konw recognize it for that, but I’d say I have a limited viewpoint based on the people I know.

Let me one up you, Saint Augustine FL, Saint Paul MI, and Santa Fe NM.
 
San Jose is another.
Maybe they’ll also object to Mt. St. Helens.
We’ll see.

I am writing to have my opinion heard. As a combat vet, college student and Christian, I find the fact that you have decided to trample your city’s history and a vital source of income and culture underfoot beneeth the banner of Political Correctness. You should have been proud to be the home of such an institution of higher learning. Now you should be ashamed that you have let an organization use fear to force you to act. This is legal terrorism, and nothing more. For shame. For shame.

Ridiculous… But in the end will probably bring more publicity to the university. 👍

God can make good come out of anything!
