Cab Driver Banned from Displaying 'Phallic' Cross

THE DAILY TELEGRAPH: A taxi driver was banned from displaying a crucifix on his dashboard after a teenage customer complained that it looked “phallic”.

Clair Cook, who runs AnD taxis, was asked by her local council to ensure that the object was removed after being told that the 15-year-old boy had been offended by it.

She described the complaint as “ridiculous” and said the driver of the car was a devout Roman Catholic.

Miss Cook claimed that if the symbol had been of any faith other than Christianity, the council would have treated the case with far greater sensitivity.

The row follows a series of previous cases in which employees have been censured for displaying Christian symbols. » | Friday, May 13, 2011
