Rick Scott Celebrates Festivus with the Rest of Us

Date posted: December 6, 2013
By: Sharon Aron Baron

A South Florida activist who wrote to Governor Rick Scott’s office asking for approval to erect a festivus pole, has received approval.

After hearing about a group installing a manger display in the State Capitol as well as another group intending to add the Three Wise Men, Deerfield Beach resident Chaz Stevens, a self-proclaimed “militant Atheist,” felt that his festivus pole rightfully deserved a place there as well.

“I figured one ridiculous act required another,” said Stevens.

The American Civil Liberties Union warned that by allowing private groups to set up religious displays, the State was opening itself up to having to allow all sorts of individual monuments.”
