A Christian college is bowing to the whims of the world and changing the school’s nickname into something that’s not “outdated”.
Maranatha Baptist University of Watertown, Wisconsin has announced they are dropping the nickname “Crusaders” because they want to appeal to a “more global society.” The school and its athletic teams have been the Crusaders since their founding in 1968.
The school claims it wasn’t done for political correctness.
“Our world has changed since 9/11 and we’ve become a more global society with the Internet,” Executive Vice President Matt Davis told Fox News. “The heartbeat behind this was not political correctness, but expanded opportunities for our students.”
A director of the Council of American-Islamic Relations told Fox that he welcomed the name change from “Crusaders.”
