In The Year of Our Lord

"A diploma is a very personal item, and people want to proudly display it in their offices and homes,” Sidra Qureshi, president of Trinity Diversity Connection, told the Chronicle. “By having the phrase ‘In the Year of Our Lord,' it is directly referencing Jesus Christ, and not everyone believes in Jesus Christ."

Qureshi, a Muslim student at the school, is leading the campaign to remove the words. The Board of Trustees is expected to vote on the matter during a meeting next month.
Sidra doesn't want his (her?) diploma to have "Our Lord" on it. But enrolled in a university with Christian roots.

As a Christian, specifically a Roman Catholic, at what point in this vast multicultural fest does my culture get "tolerated" and "celebrated"?

Our culture doesn't. It's not politically correct enough.

But it's high time we change it.
