LINK A NC School District Wants to Put Ten Commandments Monuments Outside Buildings | Hemant Mehta | Friendly Atheist | Patheos
It’s hard to imagine there’s anything else happening in the country right now, but a North Carolina school district is considering placing Ten Commandments displays in all 30 buildings...
...It’s not clear from the meeting’s minutes what the purpose of this would be other than to waste time and potentially start a legal battle. I know COVID has us stuck inside, but getting the district embroiled in lawsuits or controversy because you have nothing better to do with your time would hurt the students and serve no useful purpose.

Feel free to reply to any comment by clicking the "Reply" button.I argued against similar in Alabama. The agreement amongst all came when I pointed out that if they put up their religious marker, they would have to allow satanic and Muslim religious text if requested and would have to spend a lot of money in court and fail or lose theirs if they refused.
That shut it down pretty quick.

Let them do it then plaster & cover it up with 2 signs - "no bill posters here" overlain by "bill posters has also got rights"

The US Constitution says that we must have a separation between church and state. Let's reinforce that wall of separation, not tear it down.

Not sure how they can win that with so much precedence already set. But, anymore, who knows.

They always lose in court, but real laws they don’t like are meant to be ignored according to the true believers.
Most useless set of numb scull rules ever. About as useful as abstinence sex education.

Isn't that commandment #8?
What a truly great idea, at least the stray dogs with have something well worth pissing on as they pass by AND the pigeons can have something well worth shitting all over as well.

Very well said!! And they are even smarter than the Christtards.
Kurt Vonnegut, in A Man Without a Country, pointed out how very wrong-headed it is for Christians to be putting up the commandments of Moses. That's the old law, after all, which was supposedly replaced by the new covenant.
Instead, he proposed monuments of the Beatitudes. "Blessed are the meek," outside of Congress. "Blessed are the Peacemakers," in the Pentagon, and so forth.
The same issue of religious intrusion on public space would remain, of course, but it's something to think about, because the mere suggestion sheds light on their motives.

If it is a public school this is highly illegal.

It's NC. The majority really don't care.
Most of them think their bible supersedes the Constitution.
That won’t stop these idiots from trying anything to go around it.
@KKGator Look at NC again. We are virtually 50/50 regarding conservative/liberal voters. The Western part of our State tends to hold on to old values, but the Eastern half and Charlotte are rather Liberal.
