>From Doug Laycock's description, the Board did not allow the nativity scene, but permitted a Menorah and a Kwanza display. I read that to indicate that no other Christmas display was provided as a substitute for the nativity scene. If that is what occurred, I consider it an error of judgement.
I don't have a problem with the Board's decision not to allow the nativity scene. But if the Board is going to allow what are essentially cultural and non-religious displays to reflect the diversity of faiths represented in the community -- I would think there are lots of ways to recognize the various faith communities that celebrate Christmas in a display without a nativity scene.
