Protestors were detained when the 800-pound stone tablets were removed from four different school districts.

I hear about this on the radio yesterday as well. One of the individuals who opposed the removed claimed that the monuments were part of a "display" along with other great documents in history. I think he mentioned Hammurabi's Code, the Declaration of Independence and perhaps the Magna Carta. What struck me about this statement was that I have seen the "display" documents in school buildings. They are bolted to a wall and all of the documents are reproduced on a white plastic sheet. How is an 800-pound granite tablet part of the display? That's just fucking stupid.
