Another Challenge To A Cross On City Property

There seems to be a rash of cases lately raising Establishment Clause challenges to crosses on public property. (See prior postings 1, 2). Jacksonville, Florida's WAWS Fox30 reported yesterday on yet another such lawsuit. In Starke, Florida, a cross has been on top of the city's water tower for over 20 years. Now Lon Bevell, an atheist, along with American Atheists, Inc., is suing the city claiming that the cross is unconstitutional. He says that when he complained to the city about the cross, one official told him it was not a cross, but was the letter "T".
