FFRF notified of post office regulations violated with hanging crucifix (December 2024)

Pennsylvania

A concerned patron of the Meadville Post Office informed FFRF that there was a crucifix hanging on the wall behind the main counter of the post office. The display violated post office regulations and the U.S. Constitution, and FFRF asserted that it must be removed at once.

“United States postal regulations prohibit the display of religious materials, other than stamp art, on postal property,” FFRF Staff Attorney Madeline Ziegler wrote to Postmaster Keila Orr.

In FFRF’s email correspondence with Orr after the complaint letter was sent, Orr informed FFRF that the display had been removed, and all employees were aware of the post office regulations.
