The Ten Commandments Required
-
It's nice to see Texas stepping up to the plate to address gun violence, which I think we can all acknowledge is a massive problem in the US, particularly in the south.
Next time there's a school shooter they'll be able to point at the sign saying 'thou shalt not kill' and the whole thing will be taken care of'.

Hindi kids have had them for a few thousand years. My coworker has one on his desk.

That's impossible, you know. Jesus existed before the foundations of the world.

I mean - what’s a 8 year old Hindu kid supposed to think when the sign at his school says that graven images are forbidden by god.
I’m definitely in support of things like having Christmas pageants and the like, don’t get me wrong.
But hanging up the rules of one religion in a government building seems odd. Can we hang up Buddhist, Islamic and Sikh teachings as well?
I don’t get the point of this.

I think school districts should highlight in yellow the ones Trump has broken. I think it’s at least 5 or 6.

Ha I had the same thought. Certainly it’s a solid 6, likely 8. But I’m hesitant to go down that path, we all have planks in our own eyes.

Maybe it will help spark a dialogue with his parents and why they believe what they believe.

It's extremely dumb. Learn about your religion in church. Yes as a Christian I believe I am right and others are wrong, but I can also see how inappropriate it is to pick one religion and display its artifacts in a classroom. Honestly I don't care other than it's absolutely the slipperiest of slopes as what prevents all N number of faiths and belief systems to display their stuff, and then blink and you'll have 5 breaks during the day for everyone to be quiet during Salah.

3, 4, 7, 8, 9, and 10 all broken by Trump. 6 out of 10.

I think he probably breaks 1 every time he looks in the mirror.
And we all know he's got a statue of himself somewhere, so there goes 2.
