The organization that challenged the town of Piedmont's
“Keep Christ in Christmas”-themed Christmas parade has now challanged the Nativity scene on the lawn at Rainbow
City's municipal building.
The Freedom from Religion Foundation has sent a letter by
email to the mayor of Rainbow City objecting to the city erecting and
maintaining a Nativity scene on public property.
The letter says a “concerned local resident” contacted it
about the display.
The letter asks Rainbow City to do as other towns have done
and remove the display from government land and either auction or donate it.
The organization requests a response in writing about the
steps being taken to remedy this violation of the First Amendment, so it can
notify the complainant.
Attorneys for the organization say they don’t want to do
away with Nativity scenes, it just wants them to be placed on private, not
public, property.
