FFRF Contests Christian Monument At Chippewa County Courthouse

The Freedom From Religion Foundation is challenging a decision by the Buildings and Grounds Committee of Chippewa County, Wis., to keep a Christian memorial for fallen police officer Jason Zunker at the County Courthouse. At first, the same committee had voted to erase the Christian-wording on the monument, which had been erected in July. Last Thursday, however, the Committee voted unanimously to keep the monument on county property, at least until October.

Part of the memorial reads: "You must ask Jesus into your heart, believe he died for you and believe he rose again." The rest of the passage includes references to God and the bible.
