That's where church officials asked university students to remove "inappropriate" images taken outside the Saint Thomas Parish ahead of an annual production of "The Rocky Horror Picture Show," a 1975 film famous for its challenging depictions of sexuality and gender. Students from Northern Kentucky University posed "in various stages of undress" on the steps of Saint Thomas Parish without its knowledge or permission, according to an Oct. 30 statement from the church.

The photos were taken down after Northern Kentucky University President Cady Short-Thompson apologized to the church, according to a university statement.

Opinion: Ghost Riders invade school bus system

Written by Richard Rawe, Campbell County bus driver. When you drive past a public school campus in Northern Kentucky, it is easy to assume our education system is flush with cash. You see elegant new building additions, state-of-the-art sports complexes, and pristine facilities.
