The U.S. Constitution Allows Religious Symbols on Public Property
shallow people
I have found that most people that are offended by symbols are narrow minded. They have to be stupid to be offended by a cross or other symbol on public property. I am not Jewish, but I don't have a heart attack because I pass a Star of David. I am not offended by any symbol. That is for narrow minded people that think they are better than anyone else.
