Free exercise of religion is an absolute American assimilation. I don't see how that's any different than churches that do live venomous snake handling in their service.

Neither is for me. Both are constitutionally protected.


Islam delenda est. It's not just a religion.


It is. It's also odd to me that the Indians in North Texas get associated with Muslims. Some may be Muslim but most of these people are not.

Again, not my jam but if we want Christianity forced into the public square, others forms of worship come with it.


It's not.

So we have to force religion out of the public square and into the closet..

And let radical secular liberalism dominate the public sphere and all manner of educational & public-shared institutions.

Funny…I don't remember reading that in the Declaration of independence, the Constitution of the United States, or any of our founding documents or State Constitutions

No. You have to accept that all religions are treated equally under the law. We can't prioritize one over the other.

Then you have to accept that people don't lose their right to practice their faith at the school house door or in the public square

Despite what you might think there is no Constitutional right to force religion into the closet…or a requirement to force secular liberalism on immigrants or natives

It doesn't matter to me. I remember it always being that way. As a kid, the Jewish kids were Jewish, and the Jehovah's Witnesses were Jehovah's Witnesses. We didn't have the state put the Ten Commandments in each classroom. It was ok.

They look the same and sound the same

Hello, racism. AKA blacks all look alike. It's not that people actually look the sameit's that when you haven't had meaningful exposure or attention to individuals from another group, your brain gets less practiced at distinguishing faces in that group. Over time, that can turn into a harmful generalization as you did here..

You have every right to critique government involvement in the schools (but they are public government run after all)

But we threw out religion from the public institutions in the 1960s (without democratic consent by the way)

And replaced it with a new religion (or moral-faith system)

We don't have blank slate institutions and we never will

We didn't throw religion out of schools. We stopped authorities from forcing their version of religion onto the rest of us.

I was once on a plane from Dallas to Pittsburgh, sitting next to a Jehovah's Witness. For three hours, he Watch Towered the hell out of me. (Full Flight), ignoring my multiple requests to leave me alone. How is that fair in a school setting?

Imagine I'm your son's Muslim Football coach. Would you think it's ok if I Allah'd him to death for playing time?

And thus forcing a form of liberal secular belief system on everyone.

You don't see they replaced one religious system with another...

Also, important to note did it without democratic consent and via judicial legislating from the bench. Nuking local citizens decisions about what their tax payer supported public schools could teach.

It is the nature of k-12 education, whatever the topic. Yes, absolutely forcing.

Of course, it's secular because schools should be religion-free.

I talk to teachers. They laugh at that silliness. They are simply to control a classroom and move them forward in the basics for education. You still have not defined secularism What is it and how do you teach?

You two statements above, "Of course, it's secular because schools should be religion-free."

and…

"schools aren't teaching secularism."

are really not compatible with each other.

Since you said that schools are secular and not religious, maybe you should answer your own question. It does not seem to be a point of disagreement.

I think this is really simple. No religion in public schools, period. If you would like a religious school for your kids, it is available to you. Christian, Yeshiva, Muslim, ect.

Based on the law of the instrument, it would make sense that you would think that it is "really simple."
