The US Constitution and Federalist papers were pretty specific about the separation of Church and State. This isn't about the words being offensive, it is about the imposition of religion by the state.

Suggesting that "liberals" find the Ten Commandments "offensive" is in and of itself, offensive.

This. Should not be in a public building.

Since the objection here is about violating the establishment clause, it’s really a conservative thing, no? Are conservatives still pretending to be pro-Constitution?

What do you mean by separation of church and state? And where do these individual documents say this? I'm planning to re-read the FP and I'd like to know which one specifically deals with separation of church and state.

Not the own you think it is. Did Congress pass this law? What's being "established", Judaism or Christianity?

This one says 10 Commandments monuments are OK.

But Stone v. Graham, 449 U.S. 39 (1980), seems more on point in that it deals with 10 Commandments in classrooms and says no dice.

Is LA looking for a reversal of Stone by the Supreme Court?

Liberals want freedom from religion--not freedom of religion.

I don't know if you think you are being cheeky, or if you are really this ignorant.

Freedom from religion is a choice, just like it is a choice to adhere to the tenants and rituals of any religion.

Either way, there is no place for it in public spaces.

Personally, I think the Beatitudes should be displayed instead but most Christian Nationalists don’t like those.[/quote


Putting them up is the point it’s not only unconstitutional it’s horrific

Which religion should be in schools????

Evangelicals sure as hell are not having Catholics or Jews.

Maga Catholics or Jews what say you idiots???

Separation of Church and state is why our for fathers created the US our families died for religious freedom.

You are unamerican if you support this crap! Even one tiny bit!

When they come for me they are coming for you too. 1930s history tells us so.

Republicans are horrible they won’t feed school children in red states but they pull this crap???

Anyone voting for one Republican ever again is not an American.

This is exactly the strategy. Get this issue in front of the conservative and sympathetic Supreme Court and hope for a reversal (like Dobbs).

First the prohibition on Congress has been extended to state action by the 14th Amendment, so that part is frivolous.

It doesn’t matter whether it’s Judaism or Christianity, it’s a pro-Judeo-Christian stance and therefore is “respecting the establishment of religion”.
