I am just a little surprised Palm Beach did not have a Taliban display up during the Christmas holidays.
To: Coleus
Thanks so much for posting this.
Maybe the tide is turning. The ACLU must be all a-twitter over the decision.

American Christians should never assume that others are as tolerant of other religions as they.

$50,000 is peanuts. There should have been criminal convictions of town officials, heavy fines imposed on the city, and large civil judgements levied by the Federal court system. Civil rights are civil rights....

A Navity scene as part of a Christmas display? Why didn't I think of it?

Donnell commented, "We won everything that we wanted. All religions will be treated equally. That's all we were fighting for. Now the Town Council must address every situation that comes up, which they did not do with us.” Be careful what you wish for, there are a lot of "religions" out there.
To: Coleus
The Town was also ordered to pay $1.00 to each woman as nominal damages for the Town’s negligence in responding to the women’s requests. The $50,000 was for attorney's fees to get the two $1 judgments and permission to display religious symbols.

Hoo-yah!!I'm a Charter Member of Thomas More Law Center (ThomasMore.org) and support the The American Center for Law and Justice (ACLJ.org). Supporting these fine organizations is one way to fight the ACLU.

The ACLU is only mildly upset by the birth of Jesus. His death and resurrection drives them completely over the edge.

Good point: Wicca, Pagan, Santeria, Druid, Gaia, Earth Worship,
What out for what you wish, you just may as well get it!

They did have a display. It was a large sign that said "Kerry for President".
To: Coleus
The Law Center filed a similar lawsuit last year against the New York City public school system whose written policy permits students to display the Jewish Menorah, and the Islamic Star and Crescent, but prohibits students from displaying Christmas Nativity scenes. A ruling on that case is expected soon. It will be interesting to see whether NYC can be weclomed back to America as well.
To: Coleus
I'm surprised that Jewish people aren't raising a ruckus ... the municipalities, school systems, etc., are implying that Judaism isn't a religion.

Be careful what you wish for, there are a lot of "religions" out there. Has there ever been any legal definition or criteria for what's to be labelled a 'religion'?
