There is only 1 true God.You need 10 commandments to tell you those things are right? It’s a religious tool. Plenty of atheists honor their parents, plenty of Christians don’t, and plenty of atheists don’t. If you’re going to include one religion then include them all. But I’m sure you’d have an issue with that, hypocrisy at its finest. But my religion is right the other 5 million are wrong! Classic
where are you seeing this
If you’re going to include one religion to be forced in schools, you gotta include them all.Well 90% of our culture is Christian. Go read about any time period prior to the 1900s. Read about the stinking Pilgrims and early New England. The Ivy League schools were founding by Puritans to train preachers. Heck the University system and our entire education process was developed out of Medieval Catholic Monasteries.
My problem with Trump is he wants Christianity in public schools. Not all of us believe the same things. Things like the Ten Commandments shouldn’t be on walls and plastered around public schools. Private schools sure, parents send them there partially for that reason and it’s a choice. Hopefully that can of worms isn’t opened but he’s hinted to it
There's a difference between teaching religious texts as historical and literary documents as opposed to forcing kids to pray or recite commandments. I think that is what he was getting at, and he's right.I see it being valuable for History class. How can you teach history of the Middle East or Medieval Europe without talking about religion?
Indeed. Trump building a coalition of a few people outside the party is interesting, though.
