Not to me.  I don't recall there being any government mandates to put rainbow flags in classrooms the way you want to put the Ten Commandments in classrooms.

Plus, I would argue that the first 4 commandments like "shall have no other gods" and "no graven images" and "sabbath" have nothing whatsoever to do with actual morality.

The only ones that are bonafide moral tenets are "honor thy mother and father" "thou shalt not murder" "thou shalt not commit adultery" "thou shalt not steal" "thou shalt not bear false witness" and (to a lesser extent) "thou shalt not covet" and NONE of those are things that Judeochristian religion uniquely brought down from on high by Moses as they are broad moral tenets recognized by most people around the globe in most cases predating and independent of Judeochristian teachings.[/quote]

Also haven’t been told a million times that elementary schools kids are too young to hear about sex in school? Why are we suddenly clamoring to explain adultery to them?[/quote]
Nobody is forcing the teachers to actually teach anything. They just have to have the thing on their wall.  :roll: [/quote]

Kid raises hand. “Mrs. Teacher, what adultery?”  When Mrs. Teacher says “you need to ask your parents,” two things happen. One, the Moms Of Liberty blow a gasket when Larla comes home and says “Mrs. Teacher says I should ask you what adultery is,” and two, every classroom has that kid who goes and looks it up in the dictionary, because the teacher is clearly uncomfortable and won’t answer the question (and I know this because I was 100% the kid who would have headed straight for the dictionary, and then read the definition to the class— and one of my kids was also that kid— which occasionally ended badly).  Also, coveting your neighbors wife makes for an interesting discussion.

Meanwhile, Harry Potter is deemed unfit for the classroom library. Umm.  Okay then.

AS USUAL the self-righteous but dim-witted Christian conservatives clearly never actually thought any of this through.[/quote]
