This is only fair. After all, if you let christians put their
religious symbols everywhere then you're gonna have to let muslims and
jews and even satanists do it too.

Pasco County bans Christmas Trees
12/16/2004 By Associated Press

NEW PORT RICHEY, Fla. (AP) - Pasco County officials have banned
Christmas trees from public buildings in a move that one constitutional
law group said Thursday was "the most extreme example of censorship
imaginable."

The last of the Christmas trees were removed Wednesday after the county
attorney said they were religious symbols, said Dan Johnson, assistant
county administrator for Public Services.

The county either had to allow all religious symbols or none, he said.

"What you allow for one you must provide for all," Johnson said.

Christmas trees can remain in various county government offices deemed
"semiprivate" areas, such as personal offices.

Pasco County, with nearly 400,000 residents, is a fast-growing area
that has a mix of rural and urban areas and whose population has grown
due to the urban sprawl that has crawled north from Tampa.
