Freedom from religion group demands flag be removed from Bryan County Courthouse

A Christian flag standing behind the judges’ bench at the Bryan County Courthouse in Pembroke may be coming down.

Bryan County Clerk of Courts Becky Crowe said she received a letter on July 11 from the Freedom From Religion Foundation (FFRF) noting that there was a Christian flag displayed in the courtroom. The letter included pictures someone had taken of the flag, Crowe said.

The letter went on to say that it is unconstitutional for a government entity to display a flag with a patently religious symbol and meaning on its grounds and the county needed to take immediate action to remove the flag from the courthouse, Crowe said.

Crowe -- who noted that she is not responsible for what is inside the courtroom -- forwarded the letter to Lea Holiday, the county’s attorney.

The county has to defend it or they will look to be soft on Satanism and they won't get reelected.

After the flag gets removed, "We did our best but the libr'l Supreme Court is controlled by the Demmycrats. If you votes for any of them, more anti-Christ stuff will rain down upon us."

Pulaski County here in Kentucky spent $500,000 defending it's ridiculous "right" to hang the ten commandments in the courthouse. That's a chunk of change for a relatively small county in a backward state. I'm sure they could have used that money for pavement, to improve the water distribution system, or paint the court house. Taught a few other small counties here to be mindful of what is hanging in their public buildings.
