A Michigan family believes that they are being unfairly discriminated against by their homeowners association for their faith.
On Tuesday, however, the family received a letter from Kramer-Triad Management Group, the managing agent for the Tollgate Homeowners Association, requesting that the family mow their grass, trim the weeds and remove six statues from their yard – including the one-foot tall Virgin Mary. "The association is arbitrarily enforcing the rules to the home owners," Samona said."We don't like to throw the religious card around because that's not who we are, but we do believe this is a religiously-motivated letter."In 2005, the family was asked to remove their lawn nativity scene. They responded by hiring a lawyer. After garnering media attention, the HOA backed down, the Detroit Free Press reported .
On Friday, the family sent the HOA a response in which they requested to discuss the matter during the next scheduled board of directors meeting, which Samona shared on Facebook.
