Just Common Sense Decision, Not Rockets Science need. If You want to be a Fake Blasphemous Sexual Predator Pedophile Christian Be it, But forcing others to follow your crap is just STUPIT as your behavior.-
The schools had to post the Cecil B. DeMille Ten Commandments, not the Jewish ten statements, KJV or Catholic Decalogue. Weird. Especially in a Catholic state.
It's always the commandments. they're fuckin fixated on the old testament God for society. It's never the beatitudes. It's never Jesus' message of love and service and forgiveness. That is apparently commie talk. They're just fucked up.
Cue up all the Chicken Littles on Faux to wail about Christianity under attack again and Christians being repressed as they worship a man who looks at their precious commandments as a challenge to see how many he can break daily. Performative Christianity. Just like their performative patriotism.
The Texas legislature actually voted for the 10 commandments in school ON THE SABBATH! So if Texas adults can't follow the actual commandments why should Texas children follow them?
I actually think its a great Idea.....Here me out. It is the perfect way to teach children what happens when you break each of the comandments by showing how King Taco has broken each one of them.
I just checked Trump’s Truth (site that archives his posts)- this is bloody real! What in the hell- posted today at 5:58pm…
Taking credit for ending the Serbian/Kosovo conflict! It ended in 1999.
How have we, and the rest of the world, become hostage to one man’s mental machinations?
Great call. Also, members of the Republican Party who push 4 this in schools is beyond me, they have zero true allegiance to the Ten Commandments. Anyone with eyes, ears, or a brain can see their actions & behaviors are contrary to the words in the Ten Commandments.

Does anyone remember Madalyn Murray O'Hare?
Murray O'Hare was an atheist who won a lawsuit to stop bible and prayer in public school in 1963/64 - the Murray v. Curlett lawsuit, which ruled that officially sanctioned mandatory Bible-reading in American public schools was unconstitutional.
My attitude is if they allowed this, then post the Hebrew Shema, the Islamic Salah, Hindu Gayatra, Namo Amida Buddhist prayer, Shinto Norito & so on. Do agnostics or atheists have a prayer? What would they do if Satanists wanted their prayer posted? Separate Church & State like our deist forefathers
I'd be happy if Republicans displayed the Ten Commandments - *IF* they also displayed right next to them a list of all the times Trump violated each and every one.
That should have been abundantly clear from the beginning. This administration wants to change long-standing laws in order to satisfy their own religious and political beliefs. To heck with everyone else!
Yay! It is a complete violation of first amendment, along with those damned school vouchers for religious schools. And everything else these christian nationalists are doing. TY for updating good news!
Fundamentalist religion is the core of some people’s existence. They’ve been indoctrinated since childhood and they think they’re on a mission from God when they try to force us to live under biblical law… whatever the hell that would be, the Bible is inconsistent and contradictory.
Is there a court that will rule it is illegal to push federal nutrition programs onto states -- and immoral to leave people without food and medicine? Come on #Republicans, you are hurting people. #Americans!
Hey there! Sounds like someone’s having a day that could use a good pep talk. You know what my Jersey grandma always said? "Even the best rollercoasters have their ups and downs—just hold onto your hat!" 🎢 Sometimes life's like navigating the Turnpike—full of surprises and toll booths!
We had already settled this decades ago, thanks to people like Madalyn Murray O'Hair.
We should start calling conservatives “regressives” because they don’t want to conserve moral values, they want to go backward to a time before enlightenment.
Those Ten Commandments shouldn't be in rainbow colors. And I don't agree with the order or text, which should be King James Version because that was what Jesus liked.
Learning about world religions in an objective, factual way is important for any educated person. But posters in a public school classroom telling kids to keep the Sabbath? Absurd.
Commandments are the pinnacle of rudeness between people and cats wisely ignore them with a frown - I'll never understand why this god is giving such a bad example.
That seems so obvious that it's amazing these Jesus freaks would even try. The only place these belong in a school are in a religious class. Up next to the Five Pillars of Faith and the Eightfold Path.
The federal court is right, but the Christian Nationalist zealots on the Supreme Court will likely reverse the decision with their usual specious reasoning: “The 10 Commandments are religious? Pshaw! Nothing at all religious about the 10 Commandmants!”
There's that common sense they've been looking for! Now stop treating school districts like state employees are missionaries in a foreign country. Religion is a choice, not a mandate!
@briantylercohen.bsky.social You, @glennkirschner.bsky.social and @marcelias.bsky.social know as well as I do that SCOTUS will scoop this up without hesitation, and overturn it because it "discriminates against Christians." The same way they ruled about the books.
I don’t know. Teaching a pedantic child the 10 commandments may have some benefit if played right. Daddy, you can’t go golfing on the Sabbath! Teacher says that’s a sin! Mommy, you told Daddy that the neighbor’s kid ran into our mailbox when it was you that did it. Teacher says that’s a double sin!

That’s where they should be!!!!!
There are six assholes in DC who would probably like a word.

They are hypocritical Christians.
Religion has no place in politics
You want religion in a school, sign your kid up for parochial. That’s what they’re there for.

It still is.
For a group that claims the lgbtq community is shoving their lifestyle in their faces, they sure do love to shove their own agenda around.

Religion does not belong in our schools. It’s superstitious, hokus-pocus, and adherents should do it on their own time.
Generosity – Give freely with no strings attached
Ethical conduct – Avoid harm, do good
Patience – Stay calm and open-hearted
Diligence – Keep going with joyful effort
Meditation – Cultivate a steady, clear mind
Wisdom – See reality with compassion and insight

Regressive obstructionists to progress.
Greedy Obstructionist Party
Or I'd put checkmarks by the ones the kids broke in real time.
Or I'd put up articles of politicians breaking the commandments for "real life examples."
Hardly what you would call any new “woke” stuff.
(Haha, see what I did there?😉)
Anyway, Yay
Make sure THEY see THEIR parents following them.
This ain't hard people.
