But Palm Beach town attorney John Randolph said case law shows that when a menorah is placed next to a secular symbol -- such as a "secular holiday tree" -- it isn't considered a religious symbol.

How about putting the tree in the center & the Menorah on the left & the Nativity on the right?

That way the 'secular symbol' tree can make both of them less religious!.....These people seem to lack 'common sense' or are they discriminating against the Christian symbol?

AH! you beat me to it! And while they're at it, they can put that magic tree next to the 10 commandments and then it will be imputed with the nonreligious symbol label. One further, we can make sure there is one of those magic nonreligious trees in every classroom so children can recite the pledge and Newdow would logically have to recall his complaint.

Using shyster Randell's argument, it would be possible to claim that a swastika, and an invitation to a KKK cross burning, would be OK if posted on a road sign pole.

Once again, the scum certainly rises to the top in the Sheeples Republic of FloriDUH.

The menorah is secular, is just pure BS. When the menorah is obviously religious because the lights come on in succession over the days, it is funded by a jewish based group, it is a religious symbol.

It passes the duck test.
