Thomas Jolly, the Artistic Director of the Olympic ceremonies, insulted Christians all over the world by offering an obscene portrayal of the Last Supper during the opening ceremonies. He is scheduled to do the closing ceremony. He should not be allowed to do so.
Yesterday, I wrote to Thomas Bach, President of the International Olympic Committee, asking him to launch an investigation of French government officials who may have been complicit in this vile attack on Christian sensibilities. There is good reason to believe that they were. Today we are asking him and others to do what they can to stop Jolly from doing the closing ceremony.
We are also contacting the fifteen major sponsors of the Olympics; leading American political figures; and the U.S. Olympic Committee. We are asking that they convey to Bach their request that someone other than Jolly be permitted to conduct the closing ceremony. Surely there are competent artists who can be asked to do this, men and women whose idea of artistic expression does not include hate speech.
Please contact as many of these people and organizations that you can. Click here for the names and email addresses.
