Obama’s pastor kicked off TCU campus

10:37 AM CDT on Thursday, March 20, 2008

Associated Press

FORT WORTH  -- An event at which presidential candidate Barack Obama’s controversial longtime pastor is set to honored will be moved off Texas Christian University’s campus for security reasons, the school said Wednesday.

The Reverend Jeremiah Wright is to be honored March 29th at the Brite Divinity School’s Black Church Summit and Awards Banquet. The divinity school is located on TCU’s campus, but is a separate school with its own officers and board.

Earlier this week, TCU issued a statement saying it opposed the divinity school’s decision to honor Wright. That comes in light of video that shows Wright delivering racially tinged sermons and railing against the United States.

TCU says that the divinity school agreed to the move.

  Obama has denounced the inflammatory remarks from his pastor.
