Vermont College Radicals Deface 9/11 Memorial

-By Warner Todd Huston

At least two memorials to Americans killed on Sept. 11, 2001 were defaced on the 12th anniversary of the attacks, one in Lafayette, LA and one at Middlebury College in Vermont. In Vermont, it was a handful of radical, left-wing, fake American Indian activists that did the defacing of the memorial there.

Memorialists at the Vermont’s Middlebury College had gotten permission of the administration to place 2,977 mini US flags on a campus courtyard to remember those fallen on that terrible day.

Religious Freedom, Property Rights vs. Government Control

As the left falls all over itself to claim that building the Ground Zero Mega-Mosque is the perfect chance to “showcase” our “Constitutional freedoms” and our religious tolerance, there is another state where religious tolerance is not as noticeably on display as it is for New York’s Muslims. Naturally, in Vermont, it is the religious freedom of Christians being denied. To be sure, the Old Media is not nearly as interested in this story.

Richard and Joan Downing own a hilltop property in Lyndonville, Vermont and on that property they’ve built a family chapel where they host weekly Catholic services for all. Next to the chapel they have also erected a 24-foot-tall cross called the Cross of Dozulé, a cross that the State of Vermont is insisting that they remove. (Visit The Chapel of the Holy Family website)

How does the State of Vermont justify its demands that the family pull down the cross? Vermont officials are citing environmental regulations that give it the power to determine what sort of construction violates the “aesthetics” of Vermont’s scenery.
