California Christian Club Fighting to Reinstate Cross Removed by City Officials
A California Christian club is fighting to put back a 28-foot cross that was removed by city officials using eminent domain, citing complaints of it being offensive and reminiscent of KKK cross-burnings. The club has been maintaining the cross since 1971 and used it for various community events. The removal was supported by the city and the mayor, claiming it was necessary for inclusivity and diversity. The Lions Club is now petitioning to reinstate the cross with the help of a civil liberties organization.
