Midshipmen erupt when Duffy demands Jesus painting be restored at Merchant Marine Academy: 'Let's bring Him up!'
- Last week, Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy addressed midshipmen in Kings Point, New York, calling for the Jesus painting to be returned to its previous prominent display.
- The painting, created in 1947 and displayed for decades, was removed to a flood-prone basement during the Biden administration after complaints led by the Military Religious Freedom Foundation.
- Duffy called for the painting, titled 'Christ on the Water,' to return to its former place, and midshipmen responded with prolonged applause, expressing its importance during their hardest academic times.
- Senators Ted Cruz and Jim Banks and others opposed the painting’s removal, citing constitutional concerns, while Mikey Weinstein of MRFF demanded its removal due to alleged sectarian messaging.
- Duffy pledged to secure funding and respect for the academy and vowed to restore the painting, a move that signaled potential reversal of its relegation and recognition of its significance to midshipmen.
