Concur sir. If the courts (spit) can find for the Freedom From Religion Foundation that the presence of a nativity scene constitutes government support for a specific religion, then it would seem that - just like a field trip to a museum, or falling into the La Brea Tar Pits - the school district is going to be on the hook. Just the old "line of duty" question askee another way, maybe. And I suspect litigators would be prepared to extend that hook way up to the biggest payday they can find. Small communities should look hard at their potential liability.
Under the heading of "Things You Should Have Learned in School" (had you been paying atttention) this would be "Unintended Consequences." The lawyers will go after the adults in the room.
