For the past 43-years a granite monument engraved with the Ten Commandments has stood on the mall, near the Fargo City Hall. Two groups, the Red River Free Thinkers and the American Civil Liberties Union are now calling for the removal of the stone, contending it violates the separation of church and state. Both advocates of removing the monument and proponents of keeping the marker presented their views on the issue today (WEDNESDAY) before the Fargo Human Relations commission. Minnesota Public radios Bob Reha reports. The Ten Commandments have stood outside Fargo City Hall since the late 1950's. It's been the subject of occasional talk, but it took the US Supreme court decision on an Indiana case to bring the Fargo debate to a full boil. Earlier this year the Court refused to hear an appeal by members of the Elkheart Indiana City Council who had been ordered to remove a similar monument from city property. A standing room only crowd jammed the Fargo City Council chambers, filling it with people eager to present their views on the issue.
