Reuters reports that the Central Arkansas Coalition of Reason has filed suit against Central Arkansas Transit Authority, which serves Little Rock, alleging that the bus system’s refusal to accept the group’s bus ads unless the would-be advertisers agree to pay fees for insurance against possible attacks on the buses by angry Christians violated the First Amendment. The secularist group alleges that such insurance fees have not been imposed when other advertisers, including churches, have purchased ads. The proposed Central Arkansas Coalition of Reason ads read: "Are you good without God? Millions are." An attorney for the transit authority cites vandalism incidents involving similar ads in other states as the justification for the fees.
