The controversial cross erected to honor American war dead in the Mojave National Preserve has been stolen.
I have been following this story quite some time, and I was very disappointed recently when the Supreme Court issued a ruling allowing it to remain in place. I am confident that the legal battle over this symbol is not over.
The Supreme Court ruled only that the government does not have an obligation to eradicate all religious symbols. The proponents of this symbol have twisted and circumvented Constitutional restrictions through many various methods, over several decades, in order to keep it there.
Those things will be challenged in the future, and ultimately, I am confident that this will be a symbol that will be removed lawfully in time.
Vandalism is not the way to do it. The people who stole it are guilty of a crime and should be punished appropriately. This is not the way to advance the secular cause.
