(WCYB) – A city in South Carolina has removed a monument to police officers that included a Bible verse and a prayer after upsetting both religious and secular residents. A Tega Cay resident complained about the religious references at a July 15 meeting. The city painted over the word “Lord” in several places on the
monument and removed the Bible reference because they feared a possible lawsuit. Then The Herald of Rock Hill reports other residents complained about the alterations made to the monument donated by the Tega Cay Women’s Club. The city released a statement Tuesday saying it put the monument in storage for now while it seeks a possible solution to the dispute. FULL REPORT
