: How Appealing"U.S. Supreme Court agrees to take Pleasant Grove-Summum free speech case"
Tuesday in The Christian Science Monitor, Warren Richey will have an article headlined "U.S. Supreme Court takes a new 10 Commandments case; The Decalogue is on display in a public park in Utah; Is the park, therefore, a forum for expression of all types?"
James Vicini of Reuters reports that "Court to rule on city park's religious monument."
And Pete Yost of The Associated Press reports that "Court Agrees to Take 2 Free Speech Cases."
This blog's first coverage of the dispute over whether towns in Utah that displayed on public property a monument to the Ten Commandments also had to permit the display on public property of a monument to the Seven Principles of the Summum religion appeared in a post I published at "How Appealing" on July 19, 2002. I also noted in that post that "Adherents of the Summum faith, at least according to the group's official Web site, are heavily into mummification after death and also take quite a liking to masturbation while still among the living."
