Claudia Winkler discusses the controversy in Chester County, PA around the covering of an 89 year old plaque in the courthouse which lists the Ten Commandments.

I think that the intent of the establishment clause has been turned on its head. Instead of tolerating and celebrating diversity of religious traditions as we protect them from both embrace and regulation by the state, we have given one small color of the spiritual spectrum, the atheists, the power to censor all other expressions. Like the banning of school prayer, this ban teaches intolerance and suspicion of any and all religions and awards tolerance only to their enemies.
