This is stupid. How does suing get you want you want in this situation. It doesn't. Just pisses off people and they take everything down which makes even more people upset.

Get's you in the paper too.

And it gets the public to discuss the issue.

And it got a Court somewhere to admit that the Free Exercise Clause of the Constitution means that religious symbols ARE allowed in the public square as long as no religion is discriminated against.

Up until now, we have had Courts establishing secularism as the official state religion and arbitrarily deciding that Menorahs are secular symbols (wink, wink) and allowable but crosses and creches are religious symbols and prohibited. The arbitrary unfairness of such rulings only serves to stir up resentments and fights every December.

Past dumb legal precedent is not engraved in stone. New legal decisions can change it but only if the issue is addressed in Court.
