Elder Oaks spoke of the threat of attempts to remove religion from the public sphere. In reaction some have claimed this does not happen. They clearly do not look broadly enough.
Every year since 1945 there has been a display of the nativity scene on the median in Mound Road close to St. Anne's Church just north of Chicago Road in the north end of Warren, Michigan.
Last year the Macomb County Raod Commission told them to take it down arguing that religios displays are not allowed on public land. The very fact that they are trying to exclude the display on the grounds of it being religios is a clear violation of the 1st Admendment. The Thomas Moore Law Center has now filed a suit on behalf of Mr. Sabawa, the man who puts up the display (it was his father who built it back in 1945) to force the County Road Commission to allow it. There is clearly a war to exclude religion from the public sphere.
