its a public school and such things need not be displayed in public schools as well as any state or federal buildings.

Which will no doubt be no more than a block or two from (any given) school.

...is simply staggering. “'I don’t see what the problem is with the Ten Commandments being there,' added Jacob Knapp, a student. 'It’s not like the school is forcing us to read them or follow them...'" This sort of attitude shouldn't shock me, but damn it, it sure does piss me off.

IT'S A PUBLIC SCHOOL! What about that do you NOT understand?!?!?! Do they just ignore the constitution in civics class at your school?!?!?! Gah.

Besides, it should be noted that "Thou shalt not kill" means "Thou shalt not kill other Jews".... because the proceed to kill everything that moves for the rest of the book.

Quick cut to the monument, it begins:

I AM THE LORD THY GOD

if so many of them weren't so fucking dishonest.

"We see this as more of a historical monument, and not a religious one."

WTF? How the hell am I supposed to respect someone who lies like this? It's fucking rude to do that.

And then they pretend to wonder why we get angry.
