Supreme Court Upholds Cross on Public LandIn a 7-2 decision, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled this morning that a Bladensburg Peace Cross World War I Memorial on public land does not violate the Constitution. The American Humanist Association sued to remove the Bladensburg Cross, claiming it violated the separation of church and state.
The following statement is from CCV President Aaron Baer:
“Once again, the U.S. Supreme Court has affirmed our nation’s first freedom: religious liberty. In a powerful 7-2 decision, the Court upheld what most Americans know to be true: religious displays on public lands do not violate the Constitution or represent an ‘establishment of religion.’

It's good to see some common sense prevailed even if it is only once.
ReplyDeleteI am an Atheist and I strongly support the right of community groups to have crosses on public land.
