Threats of legal action forced officials in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania to remove a nativity scene and a menorah from a courthouse lawn, the Christian Broadcast Network website reports today.
The American Civil Liberties Union and Americans United for Separation of Church and State said putting religious symbols on government property is an endorsement of religion.
Lucerne County commissioners said they cannot afford a legal fight, so they took the displays down.
The displays were owned by the County and have been placed on the property for several decades.
