Indiana GOP Rep. Jim Banks called on Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg to take action after a historical painting depicting Jesus was covered with a curtain by the academy.
A mother, whose son is a midshipman at the Merchant Marine Academy, told Fox News Digital she believes academy superintendent Joanna Nunan is"controlling" what the students at the academy are"allowed to think."
The mother told Fox News Digital the man who painted"Christ on the Water," Hunter Wood, was a merchant marine who fought in World War II and that the"painting was his message to his future classmates, future midshipmen." "There is no exception to this policy even if all potential attendees express comfort in meeting in the Elliott See Room," the email continued.
Recipients are also told to direct any questions"as to whether an intended use not listed above constitutes official business" to the deputy superintendent, academic dean and provost, or the commandant. "The Elliot See Room was also used as a venue for proceedings held to determine whether a midshipman had violated the Academy’s Honor Code. The accused midshipman, as well as other midshipmen , were required to attend these proceedings," the spokesperson continued.
