And the American flag. Maybe several flags.

The kids need to know that being American means being Christian.

^ in case anyone was still confused about whether the MAGAs want to impose their religion on you.

No, that was posted by an anti-theist.

The anti-theists don’t like the American flag. They don’t like the pledge of allegiance. The anti-theist who posted this says she’s a teacher in a red state who stays seated during the pledge with her mouth shut.

Oh go scratch something. I love the flag. More than you do, because I love what it stands for and not the object. It sets a sky-high constitutional ideal that it is our job to try and live up to. And it has nothing to do with government mandated bronze-age myth worship as expressly forbidden by our constitution (yeah I love that too).

This should not be happening in America. We’re free to not pledge allegiance to anything.

Anti-theists hate America as well as religion. They don’t like the pledge or the flag. Saying the pledge in school “should not be happening in America,” according an anti-theist poster.

Teachers don’t play that bs like you are lying about because they are role models for their students. Some kids have very few role models or caring adults in their lives. Teachers don’t make everything about them and their thoughts and opinions. They care about their students. Teachers have a calling to educate children. Teachers have much more important things to do than throw tantrums everyday.

Give it a rest. Teachers are fantastic. But if your calling is to educate your pupils to follow the 10 commandments, you should do that in a private school, not a school where you are paid by tax payer dollars.

Where does the law in LA say teachers will be teaching the 10 commandments in the classroom? Absolutely nowhere. You are the same anti-everything crew that hates Christmas trees in classrooms. Ugh.

You have very little respect for your own authority as a teacher. The items you display in your classroom have meaning to the class.

There are so many that object to rainbow flags in classrooms because they say it does not reflect their religious beliefs.

You have no idea what you are speaking of. It’s laughable.

Ok. Pay your big fat tax bill and send your kids to my classroom. So what if I have a rainbow flag on the wall. It's just a thing on the wall.

I have rainbow flag in my classroom. So what? It is just a flag on a wall.

Why is this ok but a poster of the 10 commandments not?

Why is the school honoring the religious teaching of the Christian children and not also honoring the teachings of the Buddist and Hindu and Muslim and Sikh children? And all the other religions in the class. All those families also pay taxes.

Why have all of our presidents proudly told us they are Christian?


Almost all U.S. presidents, including Joe Biden, have been Christian. Biden is only the second Catholic president (after John F. Kennedy), while the vast majority of others have been Protestant – most often Episcopalian or Presbyterian. Two of the most famous presidents, Thomas Jefferson and Abraham Lincoln, had no formal religious affiliation. Most presidents have been sworn in with a Bible, and they traditionally seal their oath of office with the phrase “so help me God.” Roughly half of Americans feel it is either very (20%) or somewhat (32%) important for a president to have strong religious beliefs (even if they are different from their own), according to a survey conducted in February 2020.

Congress has always been overwhelmingly Christian, and roughly nine-in-ten representatives (88%) in the current Congress – including 99% of Republicans and 78% of Democrats – identify as Christian, according to a January 2021 analysis. Congress is both more heavily Protestant than the U.S. population overall (55% vs. 40%) and more heavily Catholic (30% vs. 21%).

They want to get elected. More voters are Christian in this country than are of other religions.

The difference is presidents that try to impose their religious views on the country versus presidents that respect the principal of separation of church and state.

So Christians are the majority of Americans. Case closed.

Yikes. You might want to to back to school a little yourself.

Remember- taxpayers pay for everything!

It has already been explained to you that those things are NOT OK, they should be forbidden also. But they are not legally mandated support of religion by the general populace as this law is.

You know this, you are not a stupid person, and yet you expectorate this BS to support your position. Weak.

Well since you asked, it is NOT ok. I hope this helps.

It is ok. That’s how it works. It’s not ok with you, but you aren’t in charge of anything. The people in charge allow Senate prayer and a Senate chaplain. The president holds prayer breakfasts that taxpayers pay for.

But Congress also brought in Sikhs, Hindus, Buddhists and others of non-Christian faiths as well as non-religious secular leaders for breakfasts and to open Congressional sessions. They don't make it exclusively denominational to any particular religion or belief, such as Christian, and that is in holding with prior Supreme Court decisions. That doesn't appear to be the case with Louisiana.

The constitution doesn’t forbid any religion. It doesn’t allow the government to establish a state religion.

No religion or religious practice is forbidden in the United States.

So taxpayers are paying for everyone’s religious freedom, but don’t dare put a copy of the 10 commandments in a classroom.

Those things are ok and are taxpayer funded. We are paying for that stuff right now.

Yes. One of those things is part of our constitution and one of those things is not. It is such an important difference.

What difference? It’s all religious freedom and all taxpayer funded. No difference. None.

You've got to be kidding me.

Government mandating a poster of a religion-specific bronze-age myth is exactly establishing a state religion. This isn't just my opinion, this has been determined by the courts many times, in addition to it being logical to anyone with 2 brain cells and an honest disposition.

The rainbow flag is everywhere on school property. But the 10 commandments, that’s forbidden. No deal, because you won’t ever remove rainbow flags from school property.

What the heck is wrong with a rainbow flag? It's just a thing on a wall.

Where did someone say anything was wrong with the rainbow flag? You want me to attack the rainbow flag and cry about it being in schools. I don’t care. Rainbow flags are in schools. But the same people who are ok with rainbow flags being in schools are not ok with the 10 commandments. Because they are hypocrites.

Forgive me as I may be uneducated, but I can't find the part of the constitution which forbids the flying of a rainbow flag or any media in support of a specific sexual orientation. Can you point me to that please?

I am sure LA will have their law struck down. I am just not a hater like you are. I think everyone should be represented in schools, including Christians. Everyone is important and welcome.
