Bus agency won't budge on anti-Israel message
ANN ARBOR (AP) -- The agency that runs Ann Arbor's bus system has revised its ad policy but still won't accept an anti-Israel ad.
A federal judge last fall said the Ann Arbor Transportation Authority's policy against certain ads was vague and unconstitutional. The policy has been changed, but the agency still won't post an ad on buses that criticizes Israel.
The ad by Blaine Coleman would have skulls and bones and say, "Boycott 'Israel.' Boycott Apartheid." The bus agency says putting Israel in quotation marks implies that it doesn't exist. The agency says the ad also ridicules a group of people.
Judge Mark Goldsmith wants to read more legal filings from both sides before taking the next step. The lawsuit was filed by the American Civil Liberties Union.
