A guy has been demanding to be allowed to (using his own money) create a Biblical display showing the six day creation of the Earth. He says it's his right to do so because there is a Native American quote on the main fountain about caring for the Earth, an image of the Indian god Ganesh amongst other elephant imagery near the elephant area, and because he says evolution (for which there is a display) is the true myth. The city council eventually got enough religious nuts sympathetic to his pleas that they were going to let him do it until calls started flooding in against it. I like to think I had a hand in it because I called in several times saying, "Hello, I am a member of <a different religion each time>. If so-and-so is allowed to make a display showing his religion's creation story, then I should be allowed to do so as well." Then I would describe the creation story and my ideas for a display.
Anyway, they soon realized they had a tempest in a teapot and reversed their decision.
"Hello, I am an ancient Aztec [...] then I should be allowed to as well. We believe that man came from corn sprinkled with the blood of the gods, of which there are numerous ones, but I would focus on the goddess Coatlicue..."
