Nowhere. But, the freedom from a governmental establishment of religion (1st Amendment) requires you look to see if people can be "offended" as part of your factual inquiry as to wherether an act is really "establishing" religion or "prohibiting the free exercise thereof."
To be sure, if this were private property it would be a non-issue.
But, if government buildings can have greek gods decorating them, or quotes by other thinkers adorning them, why not the Bible? Just so long as it isn't elevated above the others. Couldn't you put up a plaque quoting Ghandi??
