Explain This

Tell me why it's ok to put up a Menorah and not a nativity scene:

A few years ago, a rabbi in Palm Beach fought the same [Palm Beach, Florida] leadership to put a menorah on public property. But after lawyers got involved, the town relented.

This year, two women wanted a Christ in a manger display next to the menorah but the town refused, saying the Nativity scene could only be placed in a lesser-trafficked park.

I'm all for allowing either BOTH to be displayed or BOTH to not be displayed. Let's be consistent, shall we? Of course, I'd prefer that we allow such religious displays. It's a public park, fercryinoutloud, not the town hall.
