Satanists and LGBTQRSTUV’s and fillintheblank degenerates will just demand to post their own “ten commandments “.
Matthew 7:15
“Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.”
King James Version (KJV)
The 1stA is freedom of religion, not freedom from religion.
The Ten Commandments are the foundation upon which all western law is constructed. Their historical value is on the same level as the Magna Carta and the Declaration of Independence. Take away the Ten Commandments and none of those ever existed.
I've talked about this on Farcebook over the past week. Some people have told me that if "we are being fair" that we should also have passages from the Quran and the teachings of Buddha on display in the classrooms.
Okay, I can dig that. Just show us where Muhammed and his followers made ANY sort of contribution to modern legal theory and that should be considered.
But they didn't. The only ones who did contribute are those of the Judeo-Christian ethic.
They had the most influential text that merits being on display.
It's not about religion. It's about historicity. And per that measure, the Ten Commandments absolutely belong on the classroom wall.
As much as I love the 10 commandments having one that says thou shalt not have any other god before me might be a bit problematic for force posing in a public school when it comes to freedom of religion.
What’s the problem? The Ten Commandments will look nice hanging between the gay and BLM flags.
That the Lunacy of ‘freedom from religion’ is consistently conflated with ‘freedom of religion’ simply is mind boggling.
The First Amendment says, simply, “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof;...”
Congress has made no such law. Ever. In US History.
That SCOTUS relied on a letter to build the wall that has been so much the center of attention, here, is also concerning.
Folks need to get over themselves.
Yes. It does not belong in a PUBLIC SCHOOL classroom, and neither do “pride” banners/flags, or the indoctrination agenda of the “LGBT” activists.
However, I believe all public money for K-12 school kids rightfully belongs to the kids for their education and no school institution should think of that money as belonging to them. I think 100% of it should be given in two increments a year tp the parents in vouchers that they can turm over to the K-12 school of their choice, public, private, secular or religuious based.
And in a private K-12 school, where parents have freely chosen to send their child, displaying the Ten Commandments becomes a private choice of a private institution.
Display ‘em in Hebrew.
LGBT Pride flag = Super OK!
Drag Queen Story Hour = Double Super OK!
Ten Commandments = NOOOOOOOOOOO! REEEEEEE!
