by Tony Perkins, FRC, Washington Update: Never underestimate the power of some good, old-fashioned grassroots outrage! After floods of angry e-mails, phone calls and a stern warning from the Virginia House of Delegates, William and Mary has finally asked its president, Gene Nichol, to resign. Since 2005, Nichol has been a controversial figure for acts such as removing an historic cross from the college's Wren Chapel. Last week, over the protest of hundreds of students and activists, he allowed the traveling Sex Workers' Art Show to appear on campus, showcasing prostitution and obscenity. We applaud the Board of Visitors for heeding the call to reinstate some dignity at America's second oldest college. See also: Controversial College of William and Mary President Resigns

Three local papers, all once big Nichol fans, have printed editorials that best sum up why his contract was not renewed. Please read:
