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.

So somehow we pay for everything the government does, and they pray and have chaplains and prayer breakfasts and are all Christian except for a few, and that’s not conflicting with the separation of church and state. But a poster of the 10 commandments is a clear violation and attempted establishment of a christian fascist government? Sure.

Remember- taxpayers pay for everything!

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.

The National Prayer Breakfast is a yearly event held in Washington, D.C., usually on the first Thursday in February. The founder of this event was Abraham Vereide.[1] The event—which is actually a series of meetings, luncheons, and dinners—has taken place since 1953 and has been held at least since the 1980s at the Washington Hilton on Connecticut Avenue NW.

The National Prayer Breakfast, held in the Hilton's International Ballroom, is yearly attended by some 3,500 guests, including international invitees from over 100 countries. Up until 2023 it was hosted by members of the United States Congress and organized on their behalf by the Christian organization Fellowship Foundation[a] (also sometimes just referred to as The Fellowship). As of 2023 the official National Prayer Breakfast is run by the a new organization, the “National Prayer Breakfast Foundation”.[2] It is designed to be a forum for the political, social, and business elite to assemble and pray together. Since the inception of the National Prayer Breakfast, several U.S. states and cities and other countries have established their own annual prayer breakfast events.

Initially called the Presidential Prayer Breakfast, the name was changed in 1970 to the National Prayer Breakfast. Every American president since Dwight D. Eisenhower has participated in the annual event.[5][6]

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.

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.

What are the rules for congressional prayer?

The Court ruled that legislative prayer must be solemn and respectful in tone; must invite lawmakers to reflect upon shared ideals and common ends; must not belittle nonbelievers or religious minorities; must not preach conversion; and must not apply pressure (direct or indirect) on those in attendance to participate.

Congress is allowed to pray. Taxpayers pay for congress- everything Congress does, their salaries, their staff. So why is that ok?
