College Removes All Nameplates Rather Than Allow a Donor One With a Bible Reference
8th February 2016
Last fall, the Colorado School of Mines believed it would run afoul of the Constitution’s Establishment Clause after a donor to its athletic complex wanted a nameplate with a — gasp! — Bible reference on it.
As a result, it refused the reference. The donor, Michael Lucas, responded by filing a lawsuit.
The school has now countered — by deciding to remove all nameplates from its football locker room.
Not only that, but CSM has terminated the nameplate fundraising program entirely, and as such puts the kibosh on the lawsuit brought forth by Lucas.
