Christian flag taken down (December 16, 2016)

A Christian flag displayed in an office window at Stephen F. Austin State University has been removed after FFRF raised concerns.

The flag displayed the image of the Latin cross, the global symbol for Christianity, and was visibly hanging in the office window of the university's processing coordinator for admissions, Dorinda Byly. FFRF's Grover contacted the university president about the constitutional violation in the university's expression of favoritism for Christianity above other religions or no religion.

FFRF received notice on Dec. 16 from General Counsel Damon Derrick that the flag had been removed from the window.
