re: #257 Fozzie Bear

No, it isn’t that simple. The religious slogans inserted on to paper money in 1955 where there previously were none were clearly an attempt to insert religious imagery and dogma into a public place it did not previously exist.

The crest at Dartmouth is the crest to a private institution with an overtly religious history.

Apples and oranges.

ps - the USA has an overtly religious history, too. kids go to Dartmouth without having to fear that the history will become required belief…proof that the same historical acknowledgments can occur elsewhere in similarly nonthreatening fashion, in direct contradiction to Mrs. Palin’s misunderstandings…
