If I read the first post correctly, the cross is (a) meant to commemorate someone who died on 9/11, and (b) is being displayed in the museum as part of an exhibit, not somehow representing the museum itself. If both of things are true (and speaking as an atheist American), I think the suit by American Atheists was kind of dumb.
This is a Christian nation, not an atheist nation. If a bunch of atheist Nazi Muslims want to destroy Jesus and force us to get gay married, you better believe I'm going to stand up for my 2nd Amendment rights. "God bless America" is in the Bible for a REASON, people!!!!

One mans cross in a museum is another mans gay marriage.
Yeah it was a dumb move, almost all atheist had no problem with the cross

Making jokes related to 9/11 is just plane wrong.

Steppin' up!
I'm just baffled why they would even sue for something as little as this? Sure, I'm a Christian, and obviously see no problem with that cross in the museum. There is a fine line between suing a public school to take down a religious mural (which I do support, with the First Amendment and all), but come on. It's an object that so many people have taken a hold to for one reason or another. I think it's insane that they're willing to let a whole bunch of people get pissed off at them for this. But then again, we have street preachers (no offense to them, or the atheists for that matter) after all

Whats the difference between a cow and 9/11?
Americans cant milk a cow for 12 years.

The bolded part is unclear: Do you mean that you support religious murals in public schools, or the lawsuit to take it down?I'm just baffled why they would even sue for something as little as this?

Religious icons and such don't belong in public buildings, if it's an artifact in a museum, that's different.
