A case to have a nativity scene removed from public property has been dismissed:
“A judge has dismissed a lawsuit that tried to prevent Manitowoc County from displaying a Nativity scene on the courthouse lawn during the Christmas season.
U.S. District Judge William Griesbach says the lawsuit filed by the Freedom From Religion Foundation has been rendered moot.
He says the county's new policy will allow all citizens to seek permits to have displays on the courthouse grounds regardless of their religious or political content.
The foundation, a Madison-based group of atheists and agnostics, argued the county violated the separation of church and state by allowing a Catholic group to erect the Nativity scene for decades.”
