Obama Hanged In Effigy; George Fox president denounces Obama display
http://www.oregonlive.com/news/index.ssf/2008/09/racial_incident_rattles_george.html

A likeness of U.S. Sen. Barack Obama was found hanging in the George Fox University quad early Tuesday along with graffiti aimed at minority recipients of a scholarship program, the university president told The Oregonian this morning.

President Robin Baker discussed the incident this morning during the twice-weekly campus service, which was packed. With dozens of Act 6 students and student leaders in front of the stage, he denounced the display and urged students to show that such a display has no place in Christian ideals.

"We absolutely cannot hate those around us and say we love God," he said. "It is not possible."

"Yesterday was not a good example of what it means to follow Jesus," he said.

4. I doubt very much this was done by George Fox students.
Sounds like the work of white supremacists to me. The Society of Friends is the most liberal of denominations, and it's scholastic community is particularly so.
