Transportation secretary grilled over decision to rehang Jesus painting at Merchant Marine Academy

JL;DR SUMMARY U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy's decision to rehang a large painting of Jesus at the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy has sparked controversy, particularly among non-Christian cadets.

But then again, maybe that's why I found the place s'durned innarestin'.
