Residents rally to maintain Christian images in Camden County Courthouse

Last edited Sun Jan 13, 2019, 10:13 PM - Edit history (1)


The debate between the county’s right to keep the images on display and the foundation’s demand is drawing attention nationally.

There’s been little in recent memory that has drawn a crowd to a Camden County Commission meeting such as the one on Tuesday to discuss the demand by the Freedom From Religion Foundation to remove two images from the courthouse.

Hasty and Williams said the county does not intend to remove the images and has notified the Freedom From Religion Foundation of their decision. The county sought legal advice before sending an official response to the foundation. The Wisconsin-based group said the images are a violation of the First Amendment and need to be removed.

constitutional rights of others. There's a reason why there are restrictions in the constitution on freedom from religion. Our ancestors knew this when they wrote the constitution but obviously word didn't get out to this part of MO. Pathetic.

Rowan County just lost one of these types of cases and now owes the ACLU a quarter a million dollars for legal fees.
