University Silences Christmas Bells

The clock tower at Southern Illinois University has played Christmas carols for nearly 15 years. But this year, someone complained - and that led university officials to briefly silence the holiday tradition until they could add a more diverse selection of music.

"We got a complaint about not being inclusive in the music," university chancellor Rita Cheng told Fox News Radio.

She backed off comments she made to a local television station that claimed the music was indeed removed because it was "religious" and "offensive to non-Christians."

"No one really complained about it being religious," she told Fox News Radio. "They asked that their religion also be reflected in the music."
