Boca Raton bans holiday symbols in public buildings

[The Straight Story]

BOCA RATON—

"Disappointing. It's a freedom that you should be able to display your beliefs, whether it's public or private. It just brings joy to people," said Boca Raton resident Brenda Scott.


The city of Boca Raton has decided not to allow Christmas trees or Hanukkah menorahs in any of its public buildings, symbols the Supreme Court allows.
