Cross display removed by Pennsylvania DOT (June 29, 2021)

The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation has removed a cross display on a state-owned utility pole.

A concerned resident reported to FFRF that a Christian cross was displayed on public school property. Upon further inspection, the cross was found to be on state property and FFRF Staff Attorney Christopher Line wrote to the DOT insisting that a sign saying ā€œJesus still savesā€ be taken down.

Assistant District Executive Thomas J. McClelland said the cross display had been removed from the utility pole, and the electric company deemed it a potential safety issue, as well.
