Religious sign removed from courthouse window (April 24, 2019)

A religious sign was removed from a courthouse window at the Benton District courthouse following FFRF’s complaint.

A Benton community member reported that a sign hung in the window that read: “WE ALL FAIL. WE ALL FALL. BUT JESUS PICKS US UP EACH TIME AND REMINDS US WHO WE ARE.” FFRF Legal Fellow Chris Line wrote to the district court asking that it remove the exclusionary display.

The court swiftly responded, confirming the sign was removed immediately upon receipt of FFRF’s letter.
