Let’s not talk about your ass. Not really interested. I get that you think it’s state sponsorship of what you christofaschist or some such nonsense. What you missed is the part where I don’t care if it comes from the teachings of Buddha or Mohammed, or Christ or Tarponator. If it promotes a better moral foundation, I’m all for it. For me it’s not a religious issue. There is no doubt that religions promote morals but there are non religious sources as well. None are offensive to me. We’ll, except maybe you.🤪 I saw your incorrect spelling of a word again the other day. Didn’t say anything at the time, because I don’t really care. I assume the source was the same as mine. Fat fingers. It happens. NBD BTW, if you were simply responding to the title of the thread, why quote me. I’ve been discussing the moral aspect not the religion aspect. Your failure to recognize that is the source of your apparent confusion.

Well you gonna keep it a secret , or do I have to get my google finger ready, I got grass to cut. From 1788 to 1925 the First Amendment didn’t apply to the States. Therefore schoolhouse displays of Christianity weren’t considered legally problematic. Also consider that non-local government involvement with the school system was minimal back then. Because the First Amendment does now apply to the States, a State legislature cannot do what Federal Congress cannot do. So this BS is clearly unconstitutional, right? The law applies to all public elementary, secondary and postsecondary schools, from kindergarten through college and mandates a version of the Ten Commandments contrary to that used by Catholics, the largest religious group in the state. But the law does not apply to Catholic schools.

Putting the 10 commandments in every classroom of a state is the topic, which is quite to the contrary of our Constitution, I might add. This is happening in a state, incidentally, that is practically at the bottom of every educational ranking of states. Fat fingers don't mistake the I and E key. People who don't know how to spell a word correctly, however, do. But that's OK, none of us are omniscient.

I was responding to the first stupid post you made -- you know, the one I quoted and responded to -- in the context of the question at hand.

Statistics show that we are experiencing the effects of lowering our moral standards and have been for some time. You may care where the moral improvement comes from. But I sure don’t.

I never said mine were better. I said I almost certainly live by the 10 commandments better than you do. But, again, neither my point nor your confusion on it is the issue. As for your question: I quoted you because you said something stupid in response to the subject of this thread. It's all right there plain as day, as was your equally idiotic response to my own. Clearly you don't care (except of course, when you said, "Anything that will help better them, I’m all for it."). Clearly I do...and so did the founders of this country. You are free to disagree for whatever silly reason you choose just as you are free to backtrack and contradict yourself.
Again: Religion has no place in public schools, regardless of your feelings about the moral improvements you apparently think it will affect.

Just sayin’ having said that I still believe it all believes at home with the parents.

I believe that the guidance should begin at home with the parents and reinforced with the school system.

Perhaps they should instead spend the money on actual education rather than religious grooming pretending to be a morality lesson.

I look forward to making you look even more dimwitted when you do.
