Walton County to alter Nativity scene

In the letter to the county that included wording from one of the rulings, Americans United stated that by displaying only the Nativity creche, “Walton County has endorsed Christianity, improperly conveying the message to ‘nonadherents that they are outsiders, not full members of the political community, and an accompanying message that they are insiders, favored members of the political community.’ ”

I am not sure which is the most audacious: people - presumably, new-comers, complaing about the culture and (non-harmful) religious practices of a pre-existing community, or the Legal System that agrees with their complaints and passes it into law.

I was labouring under the impression that foreigners had to integrate with American culture and history before they could be accepted as citizens?

To its height, its depth, its broad extent,
A limitless love, without hatred or enmity."
