The mayor plans to remove a statue honoring veterans from in front of the public library while controversy over a Christian cross in the memorial plays out in court, a report says.
In a statement made to TAP into Roselle Park on Sunday, Mayor Carl Hokanson said he strongly believes the statue, which shows a soldier kneeling over a grave marked by a cross, should remain in place but will temporarily take it down during a lawsuit challenging its constitutionality.
The American Humanist Association on Sept. 30 sued Roselle Park and Hokanson, alleging the cross constitutes government endorsement of religion and violates the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment.
Councilwoman Charlene Storey and her husband Gregory Storey, who have protested the statue since it appeared outside the Roselle Park Veterans Memorial Library in late July, are also plaintiffs in the lawsuit.
Hokanson told TAP the pair are pushing “a personal agenda” and he had not yet been served with the lawsuit.
Hokanson bought the statue with his personal money and had it set up on the front lawn of the library. The American Humanist Association wrote to Hokanson, saying the memorial excludes non-Christian veterans and threatened litigation.
In August, the borough council voted to keep the statue at the library.
Hokanson told TAP he meant for the statue to honor all veterans and had hoped the vote to keep the memorial would end the issue. […]
At least three requests from Roselle Park residents to donate other veterans memorials — one with an atheist symbol, one with a Jewish star and one without a religious symbol — are pending.
