Paid for by taxes - Jesus excluded
A library in Connecticut banned several paintings from an art show on its premises because the works in question included images of Jesus in religious settings, reports the Record-Journal.
The Meriden Public Library rejected works by local artist Mary Morley because they “portray a particular message,” said library director Marcia Trotta. The art in question pictured the Crucifixion, Jesus carrying the cross and the Nativity.
Because the library is a taxpayer-funded public space, Trotta said, it can’t endorse the tenets of one faith over another.

Leah, the conservative forum members rated your comment as one day worthy. I think it deserves much more. 
LOL, Alesha...we also feel that her comment is worth much more, but at this point we are giving her a one-day pass so she can come check it out, and hopefully become a permanent member! :)

Leah, membership is free to anyone who feels they share a common bond with conservatives - this means being fed up with political correctness, recognizing the reverse racism happening in our country, a desire to promote family values, etc.
