Radical secularists on a crusade to censor every vestige of our Judeo-Christian heritage from the public square have set their sights on Indiana. The latest skirmish in the culture wars involves a sculpture honoring fallen veterans. The sculpture was paid for by private donations and then given to the Whitewater Memorial State Park in Liberty, Indiana. The eight-foot statue includes a 14-inch white cross at the bottom. Evidently that was too much for the radicals at the Wisconsin-based Freedom From Religion Foundation. Last month the group sent a letter to the Indiana Department of Natural Resources demanding that the statue be removed. Not so fast -- Governor Mike Pence says the statue is staying. In a statement last week, Pence said: The freedom of religion does not require freedom from religion. The constitutions of our state and nation more than allow the placement of this Hoosier artists sculpture on public land. So long as I am governor, I will defend the right of Hoosiers to display this sculpture in Whitewater Memorial State Park as a lasting tribute to the service and sacrifice of all who have worn the uniform of the United States. Kudos to Governor Pence for standing up to the intolerant left-wing bullies!
