Title: ACLU opposes Jesus painting in school building

The American Civil Liberties Union of Ohio yesterday joined another group in seeking the removal of a painting of Jesus displayed in a Jackson, Ohio, school.

Like the Freedom From Religion Foundation, the ACLU believes that the picture, which school officials vow will stay, is an unconstitutional entanglement of church and state and an endorsement of Christianity.

“In this case, there are no other historical or religious figures displayed, making it very clear that the portrait is non-secular and meant to endorse one religion in particular,” an ACLU of Ohio lawyer said in a statement.

“The fact that this portrait has been hanging for many years does not change the fact that it promotes one set of religious beliefs at the expense of all others,” said ACLU litigation coordinator Drew Dennis.

The Jackson school board decided on Tuesday that the picture of Jesus, which has hung in Jackson Middle School since 1947, would not be removed in response to the objections of the Freedom From Religion Foundation.

Rebecca Markert, a staff attorney for the Madison, Wis.-based nonprofit group, said yesterday it was “unfortunate” that the school board defends the display of the Jesus picture despite court rulings to the contrary.

The group, which is confident a court would rule against the school district, is meeting with Jackson-area residents to determine “our next step,” she said.

Superintendent Phil Howard told an approving crowd of more than 300 people at the school board meeting that the picture, a decades-old gift from a student group, is legal because it has historical significance. Howard did not return telephone calls yesterday seeking comment.

“Public-school displays that advance one particular religious tradition are neither welcoming, nor inclusive for those who may have other beliefs,” said Dennis, who wrote to the school district requesting the removal of the painting. It hangs over an entrance to the middle school.

First of all the ACLU is communist in origin and respects nobody's p.o.v. on Jesus Christ. The ACLU invokes that belief in Jesus Christ is a religion and practices Christianity. Neither statements are true at all. Like many churches, even Christianity is anti-Christ just as the communist ACLU is anti-Christ. Jesus Christ is not an organized religion and never was. Christianity was something made up by men of the cloth of a church. The church of Jesus Christ resides in you...not man made structures that are the money changers conning church goers of their homes and property in the name of the church's god. Even Jesus Christ went after those money changers and is why he was crucified. He exposed all the churches for the frauds they really were and in misleading his sheep.

I disagree. Jesus referred to his church and oftentimes spoke of himself as the bridegroom of the church, his bride. He wouldnt have said these things if He wasnt establishing a church- His church.

"The Lord says to Peter: ‘I say to you,’ he says, ‘that you are Peter, and upon this rock I will build my Church, and the gates of hell will not overcome it. And to you I will give the keys of the kingdom of heaven . . . ’ [Matt. 16:18–19]. On him [Peter] he builds the Church, and to him he gives the command to feed the sheep [John 21:17], and although he assigns a like power to all the apostles, yet he founded a single chair [cathedra], and he established by his own authority a source and an intrinsic reason for that unity. Indeed, the others were that also which Peter was [i.e., apostles], but a primacy is given to Peter, whereby it is made clear that there is but one Church and one chair. . . . If someone does not hold fast to this unity of Peter, can he imagine that he still holds the faith? If he [should] desert the chair of Peter upon whom the Church was built, can he still be confident that he is in the Church?" (The Unity of the Catholic Church 4; 1st edition [A.D. 251]).
