Governor Abbott penned the letter to John Sneed, the Executive Director of the State Preservation Board that charges that a Freedom From Religion Foundation nativity is a “juvenile parody [that] violates the Preservation Board’s regulations and should be removed immediately.”
A member of the State Preservation Board, told Breitbart Texas that Sneed said the “nativity” scene will be removed from the Capitol today.
The exhibit, located in the basement of the state’s Capitol, has the bill of rights in a manager instead of a baby Jesus. It also has three founding fathers and the Statue of Liberty “worshiping one of America’s founding documents as a replacement for Jesus Christ,” wrote the Texas Governor.
The Texas Governor states that the Board should allow diverse viewpoints to be expressed in Capitol displays, “But it has no obligation to approve displays that purposefully mock the sincere religious beliefs of others.”

ReplyDeleteAfter Obama you don't think a women (other than Clinton of course) is qualified to be president? We're coming to the end of almost two full terms of having a sniveling coward terrorist Muslim sympathizer in office but you don't think a woman could be president? You're an idiot. And that's being kind.
DeleteThe atheists put the same thing on the courthouse lawn in Brookville, Indiana this year, after taking the county to court over the privately-owned-and-placed nativity scene that has been there for the past 50 years, along with a big banner openly ridiculing Christians.
ReplyDeleteThe figures are still there, but somebody removed the banner.
Oh well..
