The fed demands a bank to remove Religious symbols and Christmas symbols, because why???
Specifically, the feds believed, the symbols violated the discouragement clause of Regulation B of the bank regulations. According to the clause, "...the use of words, symbols, models and other forms of communication ... express, imply or suggest a discriminatory preference or policy of exclusion."
The feds interpret that to mean, for example, a Jew or Muslin or atheist may be offended and believe they may be discriminated against at this bank. It is an appearance of discrimination.
I beg your pardon, but the US Treasury prints and mints and the Federal Reserve distributes the money. Check your facts - it is very easy by googling who prints US currency.
