LOS ANGELES (AP) - The American Civil Liberties Union is demanding the removal of a tiny cross that is among historic symbols on Los Angeles County's official seal. The seal "prominently depicts a Latin cross, a sectarian religious symbol that represents the beliefs of one segment of the county's diverse population" and is an "impermissible endorsement of Christianity" by the county government, the ACLU Foundation of Southern California said in a letter to county officials this week. "Under clearly established law, the seal is unconstitutional," the letter said, warning that refusal to remove the cross in a "reasonable time-frame" would cause the ACLU to seek a court order.

Pleeeeeeese Auto Expert? Thank You!
Why anyone would give money to the ACLU, I have no idea.
Why are we supposed to kowtow to the minority on every issue? Isn't this nation based on MAJORITY RULE?
Done. Thanks :)
I guess they want to throw anything and everything they theink relates to Christian Thought, they are like the Devils Desciples
No Way......That cross belongs to the American Taxpayers; not the ACLU.
I used to think the ACLU was simply the Devil's Advocate.
Now I'm sure of it.

That's why the electoral college is so cool.

The ACLU stands for AntiChristian Liberals Union.
I hear ya. I wouldn't mind doing away with (or greatly modifying) the Electoral College so that my vote for Bush will actually count. (I'm so sick of seeing my vote literally counted as nothing when California's 54 electoral votes go to the Democrat.)
What is the ACLU going to do with the names of cities such as La Crosse, WI, and Los Cruces, NM? And all the towns named Saint Paul, MN, and all the Santa ...s? Where does this nonsense end?
ACLU obviously has WAY too much money and time on their hands. It is one thing to bully a small municipality into covering up part of their history, but the very name 'Los Angeles' conjures up images of divine and heavenly beings of supernatural power. Are they going to go after cities that have similar connotations in their names, like San Antonio, or San Francisco, or St. Petersburg?
