Big Blitz Posted June 20 Posted June 20 Just now, Tiberius said: Ya, never had shootings in the world before. How stupid Pre - 1960 America - where did events like this occur? What schools saw shootings take place? Also, the Commandments could be found in classrooms thru the 1800s and 1900s. How did this country survive and not become a full fledged theocracy?? 1 2

The Ten Commandments will somehow reverse the negative effects of the gun cultures that has grown so dramatically in the last few decades?
AlBUNDY4TDS Posted June 20 Posted June 20 Gun culture? How about the mismanagement of mental illness? How many times were all the warning signs ignored in regards to mass shootings? 1 3

sherpa Posted June 20 Posted June 20 1 hour ago, The Frankish Reich said: And again, Jews/Christians/Muslims worship a God that - at least at one time - ordered his follower Abraham to sacrifice his first-born son. A preposterous interpretation. Simply ignorant of the total picture. The same God who in order to reestablish a relationship, sacrificed his own son. 1 2
Westside Posted June 20 Posted June 20 Let me get this straight lefties, no mention of the Ten Commandments I. School , but drag queens reading gay porn to children is ok? You’re replacing a religious belief you apparently despise with your religion any normal thinking person would despise. The left are the poster child for hypocrisy. 1 2

You’re replacing a religious belief you apparently despise with your religion any normal thinking person would despise. The left are the poster child for hypocrisy. Neither should be ok. The kids are there for learning and social interactions. Not all the extra stuff. Take your kids to church after school. Take your kids to the other stuff after school if you so choose. This isn't that hard. 1
Tommy Callahan Posted June 20 Posted June 20 (edited) Oh the horrors. Public schools will have things like "Thow shall not Kill" on the wall next to the "Honor thy parents" Can you believe these people. Thats horrific. This list is so regressive to the current progressive movement. 1. Thou shalt not have any other gods before God. 2. Thou shalt not make yourself an idol. 3. Thou shalt not take the Lord's name in vain. 4. Remember the Sabbath Day and keep it Holy. 5. Honor your Father and Mother. 6. Thou shalt not murder. 7. Thou shalt not commit adultery. 8. Thou shalt not steal. 9. Thou shalt not testify or bear false witness against your neighbor. 10. Thou shalt not covet. Edited June 20 by Tommy Callahan 1

K D Posted June 20 Posted June 20 I'm a Christian and I don't agree with it either. I wouldn't like it if they had other religious teachings on the walls so we can't pick and choose what is acceptable and what is not. I hope people find it on their own but I don't agree with shoving it down people's throats 1

Yeah, quite a guy that Old Testament God. “I order you to sacrifice your son to me.” [time passes, Abraham readies sacrificial altar] Sike! Just kidding.

Plus, and be careful here, you are getting very close to being on his smite list. A good Old Testament smiting is not to be taken lightly. Edited June 20 by sherpa 1 1

Plus, and be careful here, you are getting very close to being on his smite list. A good Old Testament smiting is not to be taken lightly. You're right about that one. Look, the Ten Commandments thing is silly. It is an own the libs move. Pointless at best, offensive to (most) Americans' values at worst. Kind of like those old (2000s) debates about schools teaching "creation science," which literally is not a thing. It distracts from the better policy - one that I am in favor of - school choice. Yes, I would like to see standardized testing (indeed, standards in general for the private schools parents can choose from), but that is the real solution to the very real problem of public education today. I went to Catholic schools, sent my kids to Catholic schools. Religion was a subject, prayer was a daily thing, and the curriculum was strong enough that any motivated kid would be prepared for whatever higher education path he/she wanted to follow. So let's stick with that agenda, not the silly own the libs agenda. 1

Don't want your kids indoctrinated in religions you oppose? send them to public, taxpayer funded schools. Except in backwards Louisiana. As you say, a big, obvious middle finger to liberals but also to non Christian families. Not very Christ like. 1

Atheism is just the modern religion of self-idol. Just saying. 16 minutes ago, Joe Ferguson forever said: exactly. Want religion in schools?

Thats kind of why vouchers and school choice is taking off all over. For many its kind of hard to pay for private when they are already paying for the failing public schools and pay attention, public schools have chosen to move away from actual education topics to social topics. 1
