Judge: Cross-shaped beam from WTC is OK

NEW YORK – A New York judge has tossed out a lawsuit seeking to stop the display of a cross-shaped steel beam found among the World Trade Center’s wreckage.

Federal Judge Deborah Batts on Friday rejected the arguments of a national atheists group.

American Atheists had sued the National September 11 Memorial & Museum’s operators in 2011 on constitutional grounds.

The judge said the decision to include the artifact in the Sept. 11 museum didn’t advance religion impermissibly. She also said it doesn’t create excessive entanglement between the state and religion. And she noted that the cross helps tell part of the history of Sept. 11.
