South Carolina
A painting containing multiple bible verses has been removed from the Walhalla Post Office in South Carolina.
A concerned community resident and taxpayer reported that the post office displayed a large painting of “The Lion of Judah” and multiple bible verses.
“Displaying religious iconography in a post office violates post office regulations and the U.S. Constitution,” FFRF Staff Attorney Chris Line wrote to Postmaster Willie E. Jacobs.
Jacobs wrote back, trying to defend the painting by claiming that it has “nothing to do with religion.” Regardless, Jacobs promised to replace it with a different painting of a lion in order to ensure it cannot be misconstrued by anyone entering the office.
