Ground Zero Cross Stays, Court Rules

http://ift.tt/1nEwyg6



From CNN: "A memorial cross at the National September 11 Memorial and Museum in New York can remain at the newly-opened facility, an appeals court ruled Monday.



A three-judge panel of the 2nd U.S. Circuit found that the cross, located at ground zero, was "a symbol of hope" and historical in nature. It did not intentionally discriminate against a group of atheists who sued to have it removed, they ruled."



I've looked at a few different sources but I can't find a mention of who owns the property and museum. I understand that the entire WTC site is private property. Is this correct? What about the museum? Does it receive any federal or state funding?



If it is all private property then I'm not sure how this case even made it to court. If, on the other hand, it is funded even in part by government sources then there would be a legitimate case.



Does anyone have more information?
