''American Civil Liberties Union of New Jersey v. Schundler'' (1999) is a United States federal case establishing standards for a government-sponsored holiday display to contain religious symbols. It was decided by the Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit on February 16, 1999. ==Background== During the holiday season, Jersey City, New Jersey erected a nativity scene, a Christmas tree and a menorah on city property in front of City Hall.〔American Civil Liberties Union v. Schundler, 168 F.3d 92,95 (3rd Cir. 1999)〕 The scene included Mary, Joseph, Baby Jesus and the Three Wisemen.〔Schundler at 95.〕 The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) asked the city to stop putting religious symbols on public property.〔Schundler at 95〕 Jersey City put up a sign next to the display that read "Through this display and others throughout the year, the City of Jersey City is pleased to celebrate the diverse cultural and ethnic heritages of its peoples."〔Schundler at 95〕 The ACLU filed a lawsuit saying that this display was unconstitutional because it violated the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment.〔Schundler at 96.〕 The Federal District Court of New Jersey ordered the city to stop erecting its holiday display.〔Schundler at 96.〕 The City decided to appeal this ruling.〔Schundler at 96.〕 The City also erected a modified holiday display with the original menorah, Christmas tree and nativity and the City added a Santa Claus, Frosty the Snowman, a sled, Kwanzaa symbols on the tree and two signs.〔Schundler at 96.〕 The ACLU filed for contempt.〔Schundler at 96.〕 After some back and forth with the Third Circuit Court of Appeals, the District Court ruled that the modified display did not violate the First Amendment.
