Group Calls For Painting To Be Removed From Show At Sacramento Law Library

The Sacramento (CA) Public Law Library is hosting an art show sponsored by California Lawyers for the Arts. According to today's Sacramento Bee, the 63-piece display, titled "A Creative Merger II: Justice and Peace," has generated complaints from the Pacific Justice Institute which says that a multi-media piece, "Moral Values", is anti-Christian. It shows a Bible with a label across the cover reading "Warning! May Impair Judgment." PJI is calling for removal of the painting, saying: "The purpose of the message is to directly attack and demean the foundation of the Christian faith. If this had been another faith, there would be outrage." The same artist also has two other entries in the show-- about the Middle East and Bosnia-- that are admittedly anti-religious.
