Why can’t they just claim that these are religious historical artifacts and represent the history of the state?
Many states have religious history. Why should we change history to remove the reason that settlers even wanted to risk their lives to come here?
Why should we have to appeal to the institution of the ‘state’ to justify the display of uplifting spiritual principals? Just because some activist Alinskyite wants to deny our metaphysical life and force this craven reality on others doesn’t mean we have to oblige.
Do it Van Orden style, and it's all good. It's what Kentucky did at the Capitol after McCreary.
