A spokesperson for the Office of Human Rights told Fox News they had received a 60-page complaint against the private university. The investigation, they said, could take as long a six months.
The complaint was filed by John Banzhaf, an attorney and professor at George Washington University Law School. Banzhaf has been involved in previous litigation against the school involving the same-…More

You don't see any Christians complaining in Muslims school in Muslim countries?! I wonder why? Oh yea! Thats because they would get their heads cut off! Muslims are two faced! They want people to be fair when their the minority but when their the majority they will turn violent! I say leave the crosses and tell them they can pray by the toilets.

If these kind Muslim students are truly devout in their prayers, how could Christian symbols be a hindrance to them?

If they are adult enough within their religious belief, they should then be able to comprehend that they should adapt to the environment in which they are studying. But by all means yes give them a quiet place to pray in their manner but may our holy symbols remain in place.
