Ohio School Will Remove Jesus Portrait After Insurer Balks

As previously reported, earlier this year a suit was filed in an Ohio federal district court seeking to have the Jackson (OH) school district remove a portrait of Jesus that has hung in a school for 65 years and was recently moved to another school. The school justified the portrait saying it is the property of the student Hi-Y Club. According to ABC6 News, in a hearing yesterday on a temporary restraining order the school agreed to take down the portrait-- because the school board's insurance company says it will not cover the costs of the lawsuit. The school board now expects a lawsuit from the Hi-Y group that it has ordered to take down the portrait.
