Object: xian cross will not be returned to city logo

Christian cross will not be returned to Redlands' logo
REDLANDS Voters tossed the cross off the city logo for good Tuesday a
decision that will prevent a potentially costly lawsuit from the
American Civil Liberties Union and send what some call a message of
inclusion to citizens of all spiritual backgrounds.
....
Nearly 60 percent of Redlands voters 9,393 people turned down Measure Q
Tuesday, settling a decade-old debate on whether the city should
continue to use a Christian cross on its logo.
In March of 2004, the City Council decided to remove the religious
symbol after the American Civil Liberties Union threatened to sue over
what they called a violation of the Constitution's establishment clause.
Citizens rallied to "save the seal," claiming that the cross represents
the heritage of the many Christians who gave the city the nickname "the
city of churches."

Good! Along with the vote in Dover, PA, I'm glad to see that there are
still some sensible people in the country.
