Court Upholds Ban on 12-Foot High Cross In 4th of July Celebration

By Howard M. Friedman

ADVERTISEMENTS
Yesterday a Virginia federal district court refused to grant a preliminary injunction against new regulations banning objects taller than 8 feet high at Chesapeake, Virginia's traditional 4th of July celebration in Lakeside Park. the celebration follows a parade. The Hampton Roads Virginian-Pilot reports that the challenge was filed by Steve Taylor, founder of Christian Rights Ministries. He wanted to display a 12-foot high cross at the celebration. At last year's celebration, the cross was allowed in the parade, but not in the park. At the court hearing on Tuesday morning, a Ministries member carried the cross on his back to the front of the courthouse and brought it into the court room. During the hearing, two defense attorneys held the cross up in front of the judge. (Minutes of court proceeding in Christian Rights Ministries v. City of Chesapeake, (ED VA, July 1, 2008)). [Thanks to Scott Mange for the lead.]
