An attorney from a religious liberty law firm said on Thursday that officials from a Delaware town have violated the First Amendment by banning religious displays on public property.
Roger Byron, senior counsel for the First Liberty Institute, wrote a letter (pdf) to city officials in Rehoboth Beach urging them to reverse their ban of a nativity scene display by the local Knights of Columbus (KOC) council that had been traditionally erected on city property near the beach on the Bandstand circle nearby other holiday displays such as a Christmas tree, light displays, and a large Santa’s House.
