Crosses fire up ceramics class

ADF attorney Joseph Martins writes at the Center for Academic Freedom Blog: “In 2009, [Joe Mitchell] designed and crafted a few crosses but the College refused to fire the works claiming that the crosses ‘demean[ed]‘ the goals of the class and were as offensive as a ‘swastika.’ Liberty Legal Institute intervened and informed the College that its action violated Mr. Mitchell’s freedom of religion and that he would sue, if necessary, to protect that freedom. Eastfield responded by issuing a letter stating that it had dropped the ban on crosses.”
