Group sues commission in removal of Jesus display

A Christian group based in Ann Arbor has filed a lawsuit against the Road Commission of Macomb County after it allegedly took down a Christmas display on a road median in Warren.

The commission had expressed concerns about the nativity display after complaints from a group that supports separation of church and state, according to the lawsuit filed Friday by the Thomas More Law Center.

For decades, the Satawa family has helped erect a nativity display – which depicts the birth of Jesus Christ – on a public median in Warren. In December 2008, the Freedom From Religion Foundation, based in Madison, Wis., sent a letter to the Road Commission of Macomb County objecting to the display on a public site. The foundation said it violated the “constitutional principle of separation of church and state.”

The lawsuit was filed in U.S. District Court and has been assigned to Judge Gerald Rosen.
