Is all of the cultural spectrum worthy of protection? Are your values and morality no more or less virtuous than another culture’s?
“In an effort to "avoid litigation," New Hampshire’s capital city said it will allow The Satanic Temple (TST) to be part of the holiday display in the city's town square.
The city of Concord, New Hampshire, said in a Facebook post Saturday that TST had received a permit allowing them to display a holiday monument near the city's nativity scene outside the New Hampshire State House.
The city explained that under the First Amendment, and to avoid litigation, Concord had to choose whether to ban all holiday displays installed by other groups or allow the TST display.”

“The legs of the black Baphomet outside the State House stood standing, but its head was on the ground, robes crumpled and panel of Seven Fundamental Tenets shattered.
On Tuesday morning, Rep. Ellen Read, a Newmarket Democrat, was picking up the pieces of the vandalized goat-headed figure, three days after it was first unveiled on Main Street in Concord.
The base was heavy to move and passerby had left a Santa hat, a cross and a Christmas ornament on the statue. Read thought the statute would have lasted longer than three days, but there she was returning the remnants to leaders from The Satanic Temple in New Hampshire and Vermont. It’s up to them if the downtown statute will be replaced, she said.”
