We have classes now, usually in middle school that study the religions of the world. But yet somehow liberals in this country are so frightened, intimidated even by the 10 commandments that any excuse to diminish them, mock them, keep them from sight, is their goal.
Stopping the high school valedictorian from saying a prayer at invocation.
A judge that threatens another if they even say an opening prayer, or so much as mention God in the Pledge.
This is a predominantly Christian nation, that contrary to Obama's declaration that we are not, is no threat to liberals, or any other religions. Yet as scared as some seem to be, conservatives know better but allow themselves to be cowed under by these liberal bullies.

Actually, I don't agree with many of those, particularly the valedictorian speech one, but that doesn't mean I have to agree with allowing this random poster to stay up just because the community Christians feel they are being persecuted and should be allowed to put up random religious sayings simply because they honestly believe people should have to believe in them.
I don't for one minute believe that this banner was up for a student history or religious studies class. This just doesn't fit with the situation. I'd be fine with it if we were talking about a situation where it was part of some religious studies thing or history of law thing, but it wasn't. It still isn't. The only reason they put up the rest is because they were advised to do so by legal counsel. That is just wrong because it shows their intention had nothing to do with actually teaching what public schools are supposed to teach and everything to do with defending their religion from an imagined threat.
