Elroy, If you are not Jewish, would you want the Star of David on all (or any) of your government papers, or in your government's workplace?

It wouldn't really matter to me. The cross on the seal, as I understand it, is part of the history of California (missions), and isn't meant to be taken as an "establishment" of an official state religion.

We're now removing historic symbols because someone might be offended. Secularists are remaking images of government according to their will, and even little crosses aren't immune.

The Christian cross is no more appropriate on government documents than the Jewish star of David, the Muslim crescent moon or whatever the Satanist's symbol is.

When you put it that way, I'm astounded that the ACLU hasn't already made a federal case on behalf of atheists and Satanists to change the name of Los Angeles to "Los Hermanos" and that of Providence to "Plantsville".
