of Daniel Boone -- right down to the legendary coonskin cap --
racist, sexist or otherwise offensive?Officials at the University of Denver
seem to think so. Theyve announced they wont reinstate Denver Boone, who
was retired in 1998 as mascot for the UD Pioneers, despite calls
to bring him back.Boone originally had been replaced by a red-tailed hawk
named Ruckus but the bird never soared high with the student body
and was scrapped in 2007, leaving the school without a mascot. Fast
forward and the school decided to put together a committee last spring
to determine the new mascot, but Boone was not even considered.Boone was
a polarizing figure that did not reflect the growing diversity of the
UD community, but rather was an image that many women, persons of

smaller nation formed in 2011 where religious freedom is better tolerated.We
launched this as major global initiative, and have had such a tremendous
response from the Christian community, Julian Dobbs, a bishop and honorary
director for the Baranbas Fund, told FoxNews.com.The situation for Christians
who have remained behind has proven to create hardships for them, especially
for women and children."The Barnabas Fund's airlifting project began in
August 2012, but only recently has the organization secured funds for a
second phase.Sharia law is heavily enforced in Sudan, where nearly 98 percent
of the population is Muslim.It has made it very difficult, if not
