New Jersey post office removes cross display (May 24, 2021)

A cross display has been removed from a post office in Pine Brook, N.J. FFRF received a complaint from a member of the community that a Christian rosary was displayed on the wall of the post office.

FFRF Staff Attorney Madeline Ziegler wrote to the postmaster and reminded him that was a violation of the U.S. Constitution and post office regulations. She asked that the rosary be immediately removed from postal property.

The district manager for the Northern New Jersey District and an attorney for the Postal Serviceā€™s Northeast ā€“ New York Law Office both responded to the letter and advised that the rosary, apparently a lost item from a customer, had been removed.
