Current Events Week 13

 The town of Santa Monica California has banned the decades old nativity scene that has been put up by local churches after an atheist group filed a complaint.Atheist groups have been hanging anti-religious messages and posters all over the city while the churches have also been doing the same. A judge said that instead of everyone putting up signs it would be easier just to have no religious nativity scenes and not atheist messages. The Churches are going to protest. I don't agree with the judges ruling that the nativity scene should be taken down because it is a 60 year old tradition that should be able to stay. This affects us because in Murrysville there are also many things that could be forced to be taken down if an atheist group protests them.
