City Asks For Removal of Billboard With Anti-Religion Message

The San Francisco Chronicle reported Friday that the city of Rancho Cucamonga, CA, after receiving numerous complaints, asked the General Outdoor advertising company to take down a billboard carrying a message from the Freedom from Religion Foundation. The sign company complied, removing the "Imagine No Religion" billboard. FFRF says the city should not be censoring speech. This is not the first time the city has requested removal of a billboard seen as offensive to some. In September, it asked another company to take down a billboard advertising vagina rejuvenation.
