How the VA was forced to protect religious displays at VA facilities

Veterans Affairs Secretary Robert Wilkie feels confident about the directive he issued this month allowing the public display of religious content at the agency’s 100-plus facilities.

Part of that confidence stems from the Supreme Court’s recent 7-2 ruling in American Legion v. American Humanist Association, which affirmed the constitutionality of a 94-year-old Christian cross commemorating Maryland residents killed in World War I. Wilkie’s confidence comes also from the Trump administration’s overall efforts to defend religious liberty.
