Religious Symbols on Public Property
There is much debate surrounding the display of religious symbols on public property around Christmastime. While I can see how people might not support the display of such symbols on public property, I think that we should still be able to display symbols that reflect the beliefs of many of our citizens. Christmastime is supposed to be a festive time. We should not have to hide our celebrations just because a few people do not participate in our celebration. The same goes for Hanukkah decorations--people should feel free to display those on public property as well. This is perfectly in line with the first amendment. These public buildings would be doing nothing to "prohibit the free exercise of" religion. The decorations would simply add to the enjoyment of a festive season for the vast majority of Americans.

I agree Doak man. Peopl have a right to believe what they want. They should not be discouraged from displaying those beliefs
ReplyDeleteI agree with Lucas and Emile. I think that people should be able to put up what they want on public property, but what about public buildings like a Town Hall?
