FFRF’s complaint letter prompted prompted the Blount County Sheriff’s Office in Maryville, Tenn., to remove a box of religious brochures from the waiting room.
The brochures depicted Jesus, included a prayer and were the only brochures displayed. Senior Staff Attorney Rebecca Markert called the material inappropriate and unconstitutional in a July letter.
The county’s attorney responded Nov. 17, reporting that an investigation showed that staff had indeed placed the brochures and that they had been removed.
