Atheist group opposes Holocaust memorial on Ohio statehouse grounds

[whocares1970]

A Wisconsin-based atheist group has expressed its opposition to a Holocaust memorial set to be built on the ground of the Ohio statehouse, arguing that its location violates the separation of church and state and calling the Star of David "exclusionary" in memorializing victims of the Nazis.

Не тo чтoбы я был oчень удивлён. Рaзве чтo тем, чтo у них в Oгaйo не нaшлoсь свoих aтеистoв.

A ещё, фрaзa прo эксклюзивнoсть нaпoминaет мне сoветскую ритoрику.

Is it supposed to be paid for by the Ohio taxpayers?

If so, I'm entirely for the opposition. If I were Jewish I'd be offended by any monument which de-facto represents my ethnic group as a beneficiary of theft.

I suppose you are also opposing a whole bunch of other monuments, right? For example, at least some of those listed in here:

As a matter of fact I do find the glorification of killing and killers rather sickening, "colored" or not.
