Canonically, Baphomet does have breasts as well as male features along with wings and scales, solve (dissolve) coagula (combine), pointing up and down, etc…
Whole thing is symbolism for balance and opposites. Just an edgier YinYang iirc originally dreamt up to slander/persecute the Knights Templar after they had gained too much power (and again iirc maybe have been doing some raw ass shit, but I am no KT historian)

This one might not because it might be possible to reject its installation on that ground.
The Satanic Temple uses it to get Christian statues removed by saying “oh you have a Christian statue so in order to not discriminate based on religion, you need to install ours too”
I can imagine that the US is so prude that boobs might prevent that from working

The law is the First Amendment of the US Constitution.
Forcing public building, by law, to display religious doctrine of one single religion is a textbook example of breaking the First Amendment.
If you can’t understand that, I dunno what to say other than try reading a book.

ohh I thought this was done to private buildings and what if the building staff themselves want to display it?
and anyway im not american but your laws are weird
