‘Head of Christ’ not in Kansas anymore

Public schools are not for religious proselytizing or promotion as it is for all student, christian and non christian.

If christianity was the minority religion you can bet they would howling

"A painting of Jesus hanging in Royster Middle School in Chanute, Kan., was removed Aug. 20 in response to Staff Attorney Andrew Seidel's letter to Chanute Public Schools. The reproduction of Warner Sallman's "Head of Christ" had been displayed in the school at least as far back as 1966.

Superintendent Richard Proffitt, in his first year in Chanute, told the Wichita Eagle that the image came down on advice of district legal counsel. "We were notified [by FFRF] and we responded to stay in compliance," Proffitt said.

A similar copy of the painting in a middle school was involved in an FFRF and ACLU of Ohio lawsuit against Jackson City School District in Jackson, Ohio, in 2013. The school settled the suit, agreeing to permanently remove the portrait of Jesus and pay $95,000, including attorney's fees. Seidel's letter to the Chanute district stressed the settlement.

"It is illegal for Royster Middle School or any other Chanute public school to post religious images in its hallways, or anywhere else that appears to be school-sponsored. If this picture of Jesus is displayed, as we are told, the District must remove it at once."
Proffitt said the portrait is being stored in a secure location "where it's not visible."
Ryan Jayne, FFRF legal clerk, noted it's the second time the Foundation has worked with Proffitt to resolve a complaint. The earlier case involved Gideon bible distribution in Saline in 2014."

Should we ask the OP to PROVE it was a picture of Jesus?

The christers believed it was a characterization of their godman, that's why they put it up in the first place

Just another stupid baseless statement by you.

You will never recognize all of the good that Christianity has brought to this nation and the world since the time of our forefathers. Just keep looking for reasons to denigrate and eradicate any mention of God, but don't look around to see how far this nation is falling in goodness, courage and morality. None of that bothers you.
