And along these lines:

A suburb of Portland, Maine, has removed a Star of David from its annual holiday lights display after a local Arab American organization complained, reportedly calling it “offensive” in light of Israel’s war with Hamas in Gaza.
But the mayor of Westbrook told the Jewish Telegraphic Agency that the reason for the star’s removal had more to do with the city’s efforts to follow the U.S. Constitution’s Establishment Clause, which is understood to forbid overtly religious displays on public property. He added that local Jewish groups agreed it should be taken down and that Hanukkah would still be represented for the first time in the city’s holiday display via a series of dreidels.
Some NPC will be along to say "bbbbbut the replaced the Star of David with a dreidel! You got nuffin'!!" and get all stampy-foot. But they'll mis the point, as the always do: The Star Of David has been the symbol of Judaism for hundreds of years.
