Religious Belief vs Civic Duty

Law enforcement would trump up some charge to have you remove it, kind of like ups management, if there is no rule in writing , they will find one to impose on you to make you guilty.

Come on now.....

I know of no legal recourse that a government has in forcing someone to remove a sign.
I'm willing to learn.

Ohio panel rules "Whites Only" pool sign racist

• ABCNews.com that the sign was an antique and merely a decoration. Even though the sign indicates that the pool is public, Hein said the pool is on her private property, and people have to ask her for permission to use it.
  
  
  
  The girl's father, Michael Gunn, in brief comments Thursday, described his shock last spring when venturing out for a lunch break by the pool.
  
  
  
  "My initial reaction to seeing the sign was of shock, disgust and outrage," Gunn said. He also told the commission that his daughter was saddened months later to learn the reason they moved from the apartment complex "was in a way related to the color of her skin." Gunn declined to speak with reporters.
  
  
  
  Hein's attorney, who informed the commission by email Wednesday that Hein would not attend the hearing, did not return phone and email messages Wednesday and Thursday from The Associated Press. A recording on Thursday said Hein's voicemail was full and could not accept messages.
  
  
  
  "I was trying to protect my assets," she told the commission's housing enforcement director in a Sept. 27 interview.
  
  
  
  Racial discrimination has particular resonance in Cincinnati, whose population is 45 percent black, far higher than the rest of Ohio, which is about 12 percent black. Surrounding Hamilton County is 26 percent black.
  
  
  
  Cincinnati was the scene of race riots in April 2001 when police and demonstrators clashed in a blighted neighborhood following the shooting of a black suspect by police.
  
  
  
  The commission's statement said that its investigation concluded that the posting of such a sign "restricts the social interaction between Caucasians and African-Americans and reinforces discriminatory actions aimed at oppressing people of color."
  
  
  
  It still would be possible for the parties to reach a settlement overseen by the commission before any legal action is taken.
  
  
  
  If those discussions don't bear fruit, the commission would issue a formal complaint and refer the matter to the Ohio attorney general's office, which would represent the commission's findings before an administrative law judge. That judge would determine any penalties, which could include a cease-and-desist order and punitive damages.

Consider yourself " learned".

The only recourse I can think of would be if the sign could be considered a trademark infringement.
