In response to opinion piece in last edition, by Anne Johnson.
How sad to read the opinion piece criticizing our commissioners for allowing the creche and menorah at our library point. I have walked past the displays many times in the last couple of weeks.Each and every time I made a mental note of gratitude that we have a town that embraces the spirit of Christmas and Hanukah.
The writer believes other groups who have differing beliefs, or non-beliefs for that matter, have a right to their say. In fact the way the piece was written, it almost sounds as if she has a plan. Perhaps they do, I am no legal scholar. If that proves to be the case, I would hope that civility and respect would triumph and any of these groups would request their time and space after the rest of us enjoy the welcoming spirit of our unique town.
So please, if you must, wait till the Menorah and creche are stored away before you “celebrate” nothing in our public space.
