An Illinois University has silenced their Christmas bells after getting complaints.
(Fox News)- The clock tower at Southern Illinois University has played Christmas carols for nearly 15 years. But this year, someone complained – and that led university officials to briefly silence the holiday tradition until they could add a more diverse selection of music.
“We got a complaint about not being inclusive in the music,” university chancellor Rita Cheng told Fox News Radio.
She backed off comments she made to a local television station that claimed the music was indeed removed because it was “religious” and “offensive to non-Christians.”
