We're in court today challenging an Arkansas law that forces public schools to display the Ten Commandments. We've said it before and we'll say it again: Public schools aren't Sunday schools.

A counterproposal: the Ten Commandments can be posted only if each commandment is followed by a detailed explanation in 24 pt font specifically how Trump broke it, each and every time, with photographs--including Melania's nudes & the "Grab 'em" quote--and every single lie, debunked, plus citations.

Thank you. Is it possible that the reason that conservatives are pushing religion on our kids is because lots of people left the church? Do they not understand that trying to cram religion down our throats won’t bring us back to the church?

I'm not just saying this for shock value, does anyone else feel like me, that in first time in 160+ years that we actually might have a REVOLT here in U.S.? I honestly feel like we might be headed towards a "type" of civil war...if we are not there already. I am SO mad, disgusted and furious

agreed, there is absolutely no room for religious dogma in public schools. This country was based upon separation of church and state for many very good reasons. This effort is just another power grab by the far right fascists using religion as their tool. America is not a Christian nation.

Maybe compromise and have five: Thou shalt not kill. Thou shalt not covet thy neighbours goods. Thou shalt not bear false witness. Thou shalt not covet thy neighbours wife. Thou shalt not steal.

Make sure you bring up the SCOTUS decision allowing parents to take their kids out of lessons on religious grounds and that this would require the schools to provide spaces free from "Christian" symbols if the parents object.

Exactly TYVM. What these parents want is a free education system where they can exercise their religious rights and that's not the way it works in the US. That is what religious schools are for.

These “CHURCHES” who’ve transformed themselves into POLITICAL ORGANIZATIONS have seen such a loss of parishioners they are trying to interfere in the teaching of FACTS & TRUTH by installing The TEN COMMANDMENTS in PUBLIC SCHOOLS in a desperate attempt to keep CHURCHES relevant & groom children.

There is no more dangerous form of government than theocracy. The only thing worse than a tyrant is a tyrant who thinks they’re on a mission from God. A political party claiming their allegiance to ten commandments but in the facts, they do not practice any of them. Hypocrisy and double standard

When it starts working in the churches, then come talk about the public schools! Until then, Separation of church and state is still the only way to keep them safe from each other! We don’t want the state telling us what church to go to! We don’t want the church telling us how to run the state!!

I've never understood why it's so important to the evangelical 'christians' / GOP that school teachers explain what adultery is to five year olds. You would think they get sufficiently exposed to that sort of thing at home and church.

The sick crazy religious nut jobs who demand this violate most of the commandments daily. They don't follow what they preach. It's all about indoctrination and control of a person's mind. All one has to do is read Jesus's Sermon on the Mount to learn about how to treat people.

Maybe instead hang them into the WH? Some of them in bold maybe? As a reminder? You shall not kill (no, not even criminals or illegal migrants). You shall not steal (not from people and not from the state). You shall not bear false witness. 😉

Since the November overthrow of the USA, the self-installed fascist regime has thrived, because many people were too cowardly to simply perform their jobs. The truth is if only 30 people would take action, all could be saved in a matter of days. theuntenuredprofessor.wordpress.com/letters/exac...

I always find these folks who call themselves Christian to be fakes! First, they do not follow the Ten Commandments. Second, they live as if they have never heard of this guy, his name was Jesus, and the “beatitudes” from His Sermon on the Mount!

So are satan’s teachings, the Buddha’s teachings, and segments of the Quran. Don’t see those floating around much. Want to teach religion as comparative theory be my guest. Cramming Christianity down people’s throats is not the same.

Prayer was never "not allowed" in schools. It stopped "forced" prayer in schools...the reason being "which religion's prayers were forced". Anyone can pray in schools, anytime they want...in whatever religion they belong to. You just can't force your prayers on people of a different faith

Hi, Christian here - AMEN! No “religion” has any moral value if it must use force to promote itself. Indoctrination is NOT a precursor to faith. It is just plain brainwashing. Human beings deserve to think for themselves; we should not be “told” what to believe when there’s no direct evidence.
