Were the Buddhist statues just put up temporarily to mark the visit, and then taken down?

If so, I don't see the need to constantly push for "equal time". So they marked the visit of a Buddhist, so what? The Ten Commandments are available all the time.

If City Hall is no place to display the Ten Commandments (though they are the bedrock of Western jurisprudence) because they are religious and that violates the alleged “separation of church and state,” then City Hall is no place to display any other religious items, whether temporary or not.

The issue is about fighting the ACLU and other groups who are not anti-religious, just anti-Christian and anti-anything that represents traditional American values.

The goal is equality.

I think that’s pretty noble. And I also think it’s far past the time we started fighting fire with fire.

The Ten Commandments are available all the time? Where? In the Bloomington City Hall?

The city is buying space in the magazine to extoll Buddism? Did they do that for Christianity? Judism?

Get a clue.

That's about what it sounds like form the article. The display was a temporary thing, set up to honor the Dalai Lama. Maybe if the Pope ever visits Bloomington, then they can advocate for a ten commandments display.
