Without delving too deep into the issue, the founding Fathers of the U.S. were in keeping with Judeo-Christian values as a guide in thier law-making and decision-making while maintaining religious tolerance for all persons. The point Jefferson was making, was that a boundary remain between the elected government and religious bodies so as not to repeat Papal or Anglican oversight in the affairs of government that had been the case in Europe. It was in no way shape or form directing the removal of religious expression on public property and religious expression was actually a part of government activities until the latter part of the 20th century.

That aside, good idea, Butters! They should relocate the cross to a veterans memorial to represent WWI veterans since it was they who made it. I think that would perhaps solve a good number of issues in one shot.
