The City Council of Berkley Michigan recently caved in to an empty threat from the ACLU and ended their 60+ year long tradition of putting up a Nativity scene. In a news release from The Thomas More Law Center they explain that free legal defense was offered, and that the "neighboring city of Clawson’s Nativity display had been challenged in court and the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals, which governs Michigan, had ruled that the Nativity could be displayed legally on city property." What a shame.
On a positive note, the City of Plymouth Michigan followed their generations-long tradition and put up their Nativity display again this year. PLEASE CALL THEM TO SAY THANKS by dialing (734) 453-7737 , or email them at psincock@ci.plymouth.mi.us
Merry Christmas!
