I find the notion of removing a statue of a Greek goddess from a Christian campus because it is considered a pagan symbol utterly ridiculous. I also find the opposition to baring of a breast on a statue due to Christian ideals ridiculous.
However, I also fail to find the relevance of the statue as described to AKA or Bethune-Cookman College. If the Greek statue was Minerva in relationship to Delta, I could see the relevance (Minerva is symbolic to Delta, Mary McCleod Bethune was a Delta). To my knowledge, AKA does not have a symbol as described above.
I will defer to AKA_Monet that the statue did/does have symbolic value to the AKA chapter on the campus. I think that it is interesting that the statue was removed without much comment. I am interested to see what will take its place.
