Be careful when you want to use tax dollars to fund religious charter schools.
There are religions out there that preach their superiority over America’s constitution, and that killing infidel are justified. ( You know what religion(s) I mean ).

Another constitutional issue coming up for a hearing soon. “Birthright Citizenship” and the Amicus Curiae | by Joseph DeMaio: https://www.thepostemail.com/2025/05/02/birthright-citizenship-and-the-amicus-curiae/ #DonaldTrump #BirthrightCitizenship #SCOTUS #solicitorgeneral #DOJ #AttorneyGeneral #DonaldTrumpJr
Article 52 [Religion]
(1) Citizens of the USSR are guaranteed freedom of conscience, that is, the right to profess or not to profess any religion, and to conduct religious worship or atheistic propaganda. Incitement of hostility or hatred on religious grounds is prohibited.
(2) In the USSR, the church is separated from the state, and the school from the church.
-Constitution of the USSR
A reprint of that letter would be great to post on those liberal sites (those of you who are brave enough to visit them) whenever they come up with that nonsense about this.
It is simple:
When the constitution was written, all countries had
State religion.
Catholic, Lutheran, Anglican, Calvinist, Islam, Buddhism, Shinto, ...
The non-state religions were tolerated at the best, taxed, discriminated, persecuted or illegal, in most cases.
All what the founders wanted is, that there would not be State religion in the US!
Very radical concept in late 18th century!
Good post!
The time has come for separation of school and state.
Yeah.
Like the Marxists.
And the Sodomites.
There should be a wall of separation between schools and state.
In the US we said you need not hide your religion, as long as you are not violating the laws of the land, (murder, rape, banditry) you may wear it on your sleeve if you like or if you don't. Wear your yamaka, rosary or kara.
It means the state can’t run the church.
To me, it simply means the government can’t name a national religion. They can’t dictate everyone will be Catholic or Baptist etc. it doesn’t mean we can’t have religion, just that it can’t be mandated.
Some years back our local polling place was held in a church just up the road. While standing in line I overheard a woman get quite vocal about how voting should not be allowed in churches because we're supposed to have "separation of church and state".
It means that we have choice....the government makes its rules...the churches make their rules.
It can be separation of the church from the state OR the separation of the state from the church ... by which I mean that one must be able to take first place in the loyalties and devotions of the people.
The question is where does the people’s rights and obligations lay: if the people are free in their conscience then they have they right to regulate their government accordingly ... and this is the construction of the 1st Amendment.
But if the government commands the primary loyalty of the people then they are not ultimately free but are bound to observe certain things as “private” and not to intrude on the “public”.
Ultimately the freedom of people vs the freedom of the government.
The idea of a mutual separation, of the “and”, is an abuse at this time in the hands of those who wish the to subject us.
Then there is that entire Climate cO2 cult thing……
With this thread, hopefully the FACTS will finally sink in. :-)
Well I’d keep on saying that that’s not in our Constitution. If it is, show it to me, otherwise I’ll take it you never took civics or American history - then too, where are you from? Are you a citizen?
I’ve got to get a copy of that letter to keep with me.
