They ONLY care about our "civil liberties"... as long as you don't want to be free to worship God!

Hysterical God-haters, many of them.

Yup!

Why don't they send them to Montessori School. It's godless there.

The real questions are: What other decorations are in that building, what is the procedure for decorating, who is responsible for decorating, and what are the guidelines for decorating?

If there are other types of decorations there, what is wrong with one of them having a religious theme? Is religious expression not permitted while other varieties of expression is permitted?

If so, then that is viewpoint discrimination

Someday some court will order that all the arms on the crosses at Arlington Cemetary must be removed.

Maybe they are actually standing for the Ten Commandments!
Something about "Thou shalt not make...a graven image?"

I think the school should make the ACLU prove it is a picture of Christ or a symbol of. Impossible when you think about it. Case dismissed in a perfect world.

Why don't they just leave it up but call it a portrait of "Bill" or "Joe", or anyone not so damn offensive?

The only way to stop this is to seperate state from schools and the way is vouchers. No one thought anything about government funded schools until over decades the leftists changed the law under the USSC and many people do not understand the slippery slope that started. People need to know the history of how the upside down world happened to put a stop to it.

It is not a portrait of Christ. Just a represenative of christian organizations.<p.
ACLU prove otherwise as it is impossible.

This lawsuit to remove the picture of Jesus was initiated by Christians...As strange as that may seem.
The Director of Americans United is the Rev. Barry Lynn, an ordained minister in the United Church of Christ.

The United Church of Christ is a mainline Protestant Christian denomination with 1.3 million members.

this whole thing would be so much more civil and realistic if we just have an amnesty for anything religious before a certain date. That would take car of 90% of this crazyness....This is like Stalin removing certain historical leaders from photos.

Did I mention it has been there for thirty years? So it isn't just something someone threw up recently.

More people need to wake up and realize that this isn't a movement to stand up to religious zealots. These groups are on a mission to destroy God and the fabric of our society.

I'm reading her book right now. It's very, very good. So glad for all the flack, because now, many, many more will read it and reap.

Of course a picture of Stalin or Mao is perfectly fine by these folks.

(The Palestinian terrorist regime is the crisis and Israel's fist is the answer.)

I particularly don't care for any photo of Jesus because personally I believe in the commandment that "thou shalt not make any graven images." And no one knows what Jesus looked like. However, the pic's been on the wall for 30 years and the school administration doesn't care so why should the ACLU & the other communist-run org care? Just another way for these two to butt in where they're not wanted.
