the board's attorney advised that such Christian displays represent unconstitutional government endorsement of religion

Which religion? The Ten Commandments are part of many religions and I bet equivalents can be found in non-Abrahamaic faiths too. Just shows how little you need to know about religion to be an attorney.

Most lefties are revulsed by the idea that

there is a God
it isn’t you
and He gets to set the rules and judge you by them

Good for them. Tell the ACLU to bring their guns if they want to take them down again.

An “In God We Trust” poster is in the hallway of both my daughters schools in Va. My youngest had a “holiday concert” in December that mentioned Jesus Christ, God, the Bible etc. (granted, they mentioned Kwanzaa once out of obligation I suppose)

A lot of parents quietly spoke of how the school would be “burned to the ground” by the ACLU if this were CA or NY.

They need to fire that attorney and get one that knows something about the Constitution.

Just wondering. When the school authorities post a series of rules, most of which it cannot enforce (you shall have no other gods before me for example), does it affect their ability to enforce other rules? Also, does this mean no football on Friday nights? You wouldn’t want to impose on the Sabbath.

Which 10 Commandments are they posting?

The Catholic version or the Protestant version?

They are different. And it’s just not a wording issue. It’s a completely different commandment.

So as a Catholic can I have my Religion’s 10 Commandments posted too if the current posting is Protestant?

...Just asking.

“Congess shall make no law”. Not Virginia. So while the VA Supreme Court has the final word on this, NO FEDERAL COURT has an ounce of jurisdiction.

I didn't realize Moses was a "Christian"

My home county and my home elementary school.

Back in the dark ages, I had Bible classes in that school in the 4th grade. Those who objected were allowed to leave the classroom.

Update: The Freedom From Religion Foundation now says the person who originally filed a complaint doesn’t actually have children in the school system and therefore can’t be a plaintiff.
