Crosses Displayed in Indiana Town After ACLU Sues over Christmas Tree Cross Display

WXIN- Crosses Displayed across town After ACLU Sues over Christmas Tree Cross Display in Knightstown, Indiana on Dec. 11, 2016. The ACLU filed a suit against Knightstown on behalf of resident Joseph Tompkins. The suit alleges that the Latin cross on top of the town's Christmas tree “is the preeminent symbol of Christianity, representing the instrument of the crucifixion of Jesus.” So if the display is religious, the suit argues, it has no business on town property.
