I guess Christian symbols can't be displayed anywhere near government symbols these days, even on private property.

Remember when we had a First Amendment to the Constitution that prohibited the commies in the government from pulling this kind of horsesh!t?

Carried to its logical conclusion, we will have to tear down crosses off of churches.

Why? Because the crosses can be seen from public streets, which are paid for by us taxpayers. The mere sight of a cross on a private church from a public right of way could be construed as offensive and illegal.

If we’re going to have a legal violation involved with the mere sight of a cross on private property seen by the general public, the tearing down of any crosses visible to the general public could come to pass.

And on top of that, they always pull this kind of cr@p when we are going into the Christmas season.

“Sissy Bradford earned both her first and second master’s degrees from Texas State University-San Marcos. During the seven years between degrees she taught in Alaska. She has taught courses in sociology and criminal justice for Alamo Community College District. Her current research project focuses on the news coverage of San Antonio homicides by race, gender, and novelty: The Reproduction of Symbolic Dangerousness and Racial Stereotypes through Selection Bias in News Media Reporting of Homicide; 1995-2005, San Antonio, Texas.”

If you can’t do, teach. If you can’t teach, do a silly research project.

part of the continuing war against Christianity by the aCLU. A legacy of its Communist Party USA founders. and probably still party members in it.

A country is known by its symbols. A country with no crosses means it is not a Christian nation.

I live in Texas. I pay taxes in Texas.

Sissy Bradford is an employee of a school supported by the State of Texas. As one of her employers, I find her offensive.

Can I demand that she be removed from the campus and the public payroll?

They will be brought to their collective knees when they start removing ‘symbols’ from well know ‘sites’ such as Va Tech, Texas Tower (C Whitman), Kent State (sure the hippies got some kind of memorial there), Columbine etc etc.
And lets not forget those makeshift crosses on highway shoulders -....

Get one (try) get them all....

If they had to remove anything, they should have removed the university’s seal and kept the cross.

Now the jerk-offs from the ACLU can go back to dry-humping their Stalin blow up dolls secure in the knowledge that,once again, they were able to remove a small cross.
Christmas time for the ACLU must be like Viagra for them.

The mere sight of a cross on a private church from a public right of way could be construed as offensive and illegal.

Charleston SC forbids buildings to be built taller than the many church steeples in town.

I'm not so sure they'd be willing to go along with this. Those folks have proven they aren't scared of a fight.

My first thought exactly. It's private property. So why did the owner of the tower decide NOT to remove the seal? Odd.

for the take-over of America

27) Infiltrate the churches and replace revealed religion with “social” religion. Discredit the Bible and emphasize the need for intellectual maturity, which does not need a “religious crutch.”

28) Eliminate prayer or any phase of religious expression in the schools on the grounds that it violates the principle of “separation of church and state.”

24) Eliminate all laws governing obscenity by calling them “censorship” and a violation of free speech and free press.

25) Break down cultural standards of morality by promoting pornography, and obscenity in books, magazines, motion pictures, radio and TV.

26) Present homosexuality, degeneracy, and promiscuity as “normal, natural, and healthy.”

The American Civil Liberties Union

Hell with them, we need to get The United States Constitutional Rights Union in on this one. Constitutional Rights trump "civil liberties" any old day.

questioned the placement as a First Amendment violation.

I'll tell you what's a First Amendment violation...a government official "prohibiting the free exercise thereof" by a private citizen.

You're no perfesser, you're a criminal...a Constitutional Criminal.
