Pentacle Over Wisconsin

After hearing complaints from non-Christian residents of Green Bay, Wisconsin who were concerned over a manger scene set up at City Hall, Mayor Jim Schmitt has opened the public space to all kinds of religious displays. A Wiccan pentacle enclosed in a festive evergreen wreath now stands next to the tacky plastic baby Jesus scene. The city has also granted permission for the display of Hindu, Buddhist, and Unitarian symbols, among others. Simply in the interest of Green Bay's scenic beauty, wouldn't it be better to ban any kind of religious display from public property instead of allowing the seat of city government to be overrun with blinking, flashing, hand-carved tchotchkes?
