Anyone want to bet if it was a pic of the Devil, they would have gotten a check thanking them.

An Ohio school district has agreed to keep a portrait of Jesus Christ off school property and pay a $95,000 fine in the face of legal pressure from the American Civil Liberties Union.

The Jackson City School District, located in Jackson, reached a deal on Friday after the ACLU, along with the Wisconsin-based Freedom from Religion Foundation, sued the district in February, citing “unconstitutional” actions and charging that students and visitors to the school “will continue to suffer permanent, severe and irreparable harm and injury,” according to the lawsuit.

The picture had been hanging in Jackson’s high school since 1947 as part of a “Hall of Honor” display meant to highlight famous historical figures.

“The case could have ended before it began if the school had simply acknowledged that it is not the government’s place to endorse one specific religion in a public school that children are legally required to attend,” said James Hardiman, the legal director for Ohio’s ACLU chapter.

Don't you just love the ACLU? You pay them not to sue you.

Fact is, when the ACLU goes after someone it's easier to just give them what they want in terms of money and whatever left wing crap they want you to do than it is to fight their army of liberal lawyers. What else can you say about an organization that gets a good share of its funding from law suits against people that just cave in rather than fight?

They are true douche bags.

So Jesus isn't an famous historical figure?

And who are these people who “will continue to suffer permanent, severe and irreparable harm and injury,”?

Answer: Not a single one exists on this planet.

atheists like you and me, so I'm thinking some of that money should go to us.
