See what happens if Humanists, Atheists, Jews or Muslims try to erect non religious monuments on public (everyone’s) land. All hell would break loose. With hundreds of church properties in every town and city, there is no need for their legends on public land. And it is settled law, barring the Republican desire to rollback the Constitution.

But not if it is displayed in a public place that is paid for and maintained by taxpayer money. That is why it is controversial. Can you imagine the outcry if verses from the Koran were displayed there even if the project was privately funded?

They are talking about public places and publicly funded.
