The people were promoting it. It's not the business of the government to interfere. It's an action of the people. There are people in the government, if those people choose to do something, then let them choose. That's what's known as freedom.
The government isn't supposed to be a power "over" the people, it's supposed to be a power "of" the people.
People >/= Government
not
Government > People
The government is not there to tell them they have to go, but the government should ensure they are free to go if they choose.
They ARE free to go if they choose. No one is stopping them. The issue isn't whether people can take a religious holiday - of course they can, they have a constitutionally protected right to do so. The government DOES ensure that they are free to go if they choose.
It isn't about the park and the museum. It isn't about Ken Ham being a world-class dimwit. It isn't about the right of people to go to these attractions. It's about a local government violating the establishment clause. That's all.

It's not violating anything. It's nuts claiming it does. If people want to go, they have the right to go. Now if they demanded you go, then there would be a problem if you don't want to go, but those people clearly were interested in going. Makes no difference if it was a museum or an atheist church.
