Notable Rulings from Alito - In the case of ACLU v. Schneider, Alito and the court ruled that the holiday displays dipicting nonsecular objects, as well as secular ones such as Forsty the snowman, Santa, a sleigh, and a banner advocating diversity, was not unconstitutional.
By definition, dominant culture encompasses the values, customs, language, and ideals established by the group or groups in society that traditionally have controlled politics and government institutions in that society. By its very own definition, dominant culture cannot overstep its own rights, because it itself ordains its own rights. This case, then, is an example of where the dominant culture exerts the very rights which to itself it ordains. The court is obviously part of the dominant culture, due to its undissoluble influence on politics, and, due to the judicial backing of the Constitution, which rendered the displays constitutional, the ideals of the court were exerted. The holiday displays were not intended to provoke contraversy; they were merely a manifestation of holiday spirit and a rally for social unity. Yet, there are alway individuals who find offense in everything. In this case, they did not prevail, since the dominant culture was in favor of the displays, and dominant culture, by its own premise, is what controls politics.
