FFRF has ensured a Ten Commandments display from the courthouse in Taylorsville, Ky., would stay removed.
In December 2023, FFRF was informed by a concerned resident that the Ten Commandments were currently displayed inside the Spencer County Courthouse. FFRF spoke with Corey Thomas, the Spencer County attorney in February 2024, who confirmed that the display had been taken down.
However, in late June, FFRF was notified that the Ten Commandments were on display once again. FFRF’s original complainant confirmed that it was the same display that was allegedly removed in February, which sparked the question of whether or not the display had been removed at all.
FFRF Attorney Sammi Lawrence wrote back to Thomas.
“I’ve shared your previous correspondence with the clerk who, I’m sure you’re aware, is an independently elected constitutional office holder,” he wrote. “The display has been taken down. The clerk has been made aware of the need for permanency regarding the removal of the display.”
