Questions emerged about the design when a neighborhood resident, David Eichenberg, whose children will be attending the new Beverly Elementary School, posted a photo of the architectural feature at the Free Press' Facebook page on Jan. 23. (Eichenberg's photo includes some cross-shaped electrical towers in the background, but those apparently didn't register in the same way.)People are way too busy these days. Crosses? Plus signs? All I saw were lines.

Had "star of david" been designated to mininize this vibration, Why bother? If your children don't like those windows, go to a windowless school and live without electricity. Politically correct whiners need not apply.

Even if it wasn't a christian or private school, if it isn't a problem then why bother? Is a plus sign that looks like a cross really going to hurt the students? i don't think so. It's a dumb debate but people can have their way and cost more money to fix a dumb sign on a school that never intended for it to look like a cross. They should just get over it because the intent on the design was not Christianity. So why does it matter?

As for those saying Christianity is being attacked: No it is not. You want crosses on your house or car or church...fine. On a public school.. they don't belong there.

The more they micro attack Christianity, the more they are self isolated, disliked and the stronger Christianity becomes. Are we now going to have the PC police inspecting architectural design from the air?

February 17 2011 at 5:16 PM Report abuse Permalink +10 rate up rate down ReplyI know an Architect of a new building that was chastised for a supposed "star of David" pattern in the men's room urinal holes. Most of the people reviewing this complaint did not even see the resemblance; it was irregular and a real stretch of the imagination to perceive this. Nevertheless, the contractor had to change out all the urinals in the building at extra cost because of the perceived slight and the objection of a single person. Silly and petty rules the day.
