As is so often the case, the left’s vaunted “diversity” turns out to be decidedly monochromatic, and favors Islam while turning its back upon what is still the majority religion in the U.S., and the foundation of our spiritual heritage.
“New York Town Bans Christians From Erecting Displays in Public,” Todd Starnes, August 6, 2026:
A New York town is facing legal trouble after elected leaders said it was okay to display Islamic symbols in the public square, but not Christian symbols.
The American Center for Law and Justice (ACLJ) has filed a federal lawsuit accusing officials in Brighton, New York, of violating the First Amendment after refusing to allow a Christian resident to erect a traditional Nativity scene in the town’s public square—despite permitting other religious displays, including a prominent Ramadan banner celebrating the Muslim holy month.
“We are not in any way trying to get rid of any of the other religious symbols. That’s not what this case is about. There’s room for everybody, right? Not drive anyone out. Not make anyone else feel unwelcome. There’s room for everybody. And that’s the kind of bottom line message that we’re trying to convey here,” ACLJ attorney Nathan Moelker told television station WHEC.
According to the complaint, Brighton officials have ignored repeated requests from a local physician for more than two years to display a life-size Nativity scene in the Twelve Corners public square during the Christmas season. Meanwhile, the town has allowed other private religious displays, including a large Ramadan banner and a Hanukkah menorah.
The lawsuit argues that the town has engaged in unconstitutional viewpoint discrimination by welcoming some religious messages while effectively shutting the door on Christianity.
“Government officials cannot open a public forum for private holiday expression and then exclude certain speech simply because it is religious or less favored,” the ACLJ said in announcing the lawsuit. “The First Amendment requires government neutrality toward religion – not hostility.”

Why do these municipalities go down this rabbit hole? Are they cowards, stupid, scared, or they just want to show everyone how “swell” they are. We need to keep sueing to put an end to this nonsense

Exactly. But who will step up, pay the $$$ and sue? I hope someone does. But most modern lawyers are indoctrinated woke libtards full of suicidal empathy and TDS.

It’s good that they are facing a lawsuit. It seems that some people are too stupid….or evil….to do the right thing, the *legal* thing, without going first to Court.

This discrimination by Bighton officials is wrong. I hope ACLJ wins their federal lawsuit.

g, with all of them running for government offices, it makes me wonder if they are actually in power in all of the jurisdictions, and if not, then how much influence they have over the infidels in office. Is the influence in money, fear, or blackmail (extortion)?
