Liberty Institute Works to Save Jesus Statue

Liberty Institute Liberty Institute Works to Save Jesus Statue "For nearly sixty years, the Knights of Columbus of Kalispell County, Montana have owned and maintained the Tenth Mountain Veterans’ Memorial located on Big Mountain in Flathead National Forest. The U.S. Forest Service recently denied renewal of the Knights’ permit for the memorial statue because it depicts Jesus and stands on federal land." 

...."In denying renewal of the Knights’ permit, the Forest Service is responding to a lawsuit by the Freedom From Religion Foundation. Liberty Institute submitted comments with the Forest Service on behalf of the Knights, stating that “allowing the monument to remain does not create a constitutional violation simply because it is a statue of Jesus.” But removing the monument would amount to unconstitutional “viewpoint discrimination and a content-based restriction on the Knights of Columbus’ private speech."
