Ohio School Moves Controversial Jesus Portrait

Written by Don Byrd
A quick update of a story I have been following here at the blog (earlier post here). A portrait depicting Christ hanging in the hall of a Jackson, Ohio middle school and the subject of a church-state lawsuit, has been moved to the high school.

No members of that club are in the middle school where the portrait hangs.
