X-mas symbols removed from Sonoma County buildings

SONOMA COUNTY, CA

The acting county administrator has now ordered those and all other religious symbols removed after a complaint that the decorations violate constitutional protections.

The person who complained is a Santa Rosa veteran and atheist who has a history of such protests.

The U.S. Supreme Court has ruled that a Christmas tree is not a religious symbol, but can take on that meaning if it's decorated with such symbols.
