WASHINGTON — The Architect of the Capitol, responding to a public outcry, ruled Thursday that, from now on, the word "God" may be inscribed on certificates accompanying flags that have flown over the U.S. Capitol.

"It is inappropriate and beyond the scope of this agency’s responsibilities to censor messages from members," Ayers said.

Michael Turner, why the personal inscription he requested to go with his flag was censored.

Fixed that line. Though it is mentioned later in the article.
"You caught us. We will do it your way at least until things quiet down."
Wow...how generous of this peice of trash ....anyone have a picture of this architect??
So in other words, the banning of the word “God” was never based on principle in the first instance.
