My town's deparment building (basically city hall I think) has a nativity scene on their lawn. I first tried calling them. I confirmed it was a government owned building and I asked why they had it. They said it was for Chrismas.
Nice answer Clap
Quote:I told them it wasn't allowed. A government can not endorse a religion. They then come up with an excuse saying they are going to be putting up a Hanukkah symbol up to. Which doesn't make a difference.
Actually they just need some secular decorations up.
