A prayer room and foot-washing stations are being added to MN High School

[ThisIsMe]

The school is forcing you to pray?

The school is forcing you to read the 10 commandments?

 

[RoshawnMarkwees]

We don’t. But leftys are doing everything they can to remove religion from schools, it seems you all are the ones with a problem with it…or so we thought.

They don’t want to remove religion, per se. They want to remove Christianity because it is part of foundational American culture. Usurping the culture is the real goal.

 

[Concerned American]

God has never been removed from schools. Students have always been able to practice their religious beliefs.

Courts ruled that the ten commandments cannot be displayed in schools in LA and TX.
Public schools cannot organize or encourage prayers.

 

[ThisIsMe]

Apparently, taxpayer dollars are being spent to provide a prayer room. Is that legal?

Actually, on the state level, it is, but democrats only recognize that if it’s not the Christian religion.

 

[Dogmaphobe]

It's funny how very stupid people say it is bigoted and racist to be concerned about an aggressive ideology that is both supremacist and totalitarian being accommodated in our public schools.

 

[Zincwarrior]

So if this story is true, does that mean we can put the 10 commandments back in the schools?

Again, they already did in several Southern states.

 

[ThisIsMe]

You always could as long as you allow the Koran or such also.

Is that what you want?

Sure, if the residents of the state want that, absolutely.

Courts rule all kinds of things.

Why? You have Bibles in schools and the commandments are in there, what right does anyone have to select specific bits of the text and emphasize that?

The left is doing everything they can to remove religion from schools. They should be consistent on this.

Yeah, and the left are doing everything they can to remove them. À la…texas

I'm confused, are you or are you not advocating that the Ten Commandments should be displayed around schools over other bits of the Biblical text?

 

[ThisIsMe]

If they were building a Christian shine in the school, the Left would be going nuts.

Notice how when it’s about Christianity…the left come here and talk about the “sky fairy”, but when it comes to Islam, they don’t say things like that…derogatory and such

 

[ThisIsMe]

The school notes it's a room for all to use.

That’s fine, but why did it take Muslims to get this? Back when kids were wanting to do Bible study in school, lefty’s here were protesting, calling it a violation of separation. Now, there’s no pushback.

 

[ThisIsMe]

Would you be objecting if this same high school has a prayer group for Christians students???

No, but you would.

 

[ThisIsMe]

I'm confused, are you or are you not advocating that the Ten Commandments should be displayed around schools over other bits if the Biblical text?

I’m advocating for consistency from the left. Either you are for schools allowing religion, and making exceptions for a students religion, or you’re not

 

[LeftofLeft]

How do you know it isn't?

I don’t. I am simply saying it needs to be. It is interesting that since the prayer room has foot washing stations it was Muslim influenced which I am fine with but that too needs to be equal and all access. That means atheists can walk in and wash their feet if the so choose.

I'm a socialist and a Christian (I try to be) and I have no problem with "religion" being a subject of study in schools. I would not allow someone's cherry picked bit of the Bible to be displayed as posters around the school, no exceptions for any other religions.

Maybe missionaries from Christianity, Mormonism, Buddhism, Hinduism, and His Holy Noodleage should preach the truth to them and convert them to the True message?

 

[ThisIsMe]

Prayer groups ARE allowed in schools, as long as they are student lead, the staff isn't promoting them, and attendance is entirely optional.

Should you spend taxpayer money to facilitate it?

Also, a teacher was fired for praying at a football game.

Schools have tried prohibiting Bible study in the past. The left vehemently opposes it.

I don't know specifically what case(s) you might be referring to, but the term "Bible study" implies to me some kind of indoctrination, teachers interpreting scripture for students, that's no something I could ever approve of.
