A lawsuit has been filed against the Whitefish Mountain Resort ski area over a statue of Jesus Christ placed on the mountain on a small parcel of federal land by a local chapter of the Knights of Columbus. The lawsuit claims the statue, which has been on the mountain since 1955, “violates the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment to the Constitution of the United States” and is obviously a religious symbol.Proponents of the statue say it has historical value and significance to the community.
