Court Rules Private Display of Nativity Scene is Allowed in Public Places

Dec 5, 2012

A nativity scene that dates back to 1945 will be back up this year, after a 4-year absence. The federal court of appeals has deemed that the private display of a nativity scene on Mound Road’s median in Warren, Michigan, is constitutional and that the city’s refusal to allow the display violated the First Amendment.

Unfortunately some public officials mistakenly believe that censoring religious viewpoints from the public square is the safest approach, when, in fact, that violates the First Amendment.

Liberty Counsel launched its tenth annual “Friend or Foe” Christmas Campaign to educate and, if necessary, litigate to make sure religious viewpoints are not censored during Christmas. Liberty Counsel provides information about Christmas at www.LC.org and a “Naughty & Nice” list, which overviews retailers that acknowledge Christmas and those that do not.
