That's the thing. I have read the Constitution, as opposed to the bastardized version of it the American left touts.
You misspelled "the supreme court and all other courts in this country since 1940". Look, I don't get what's so hard about this.
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof...
Then you throw in general incorporation, which has been a well-established legal principle for the bill of rights since the early 1900s, and I'm left wondering what, exactly, about this easily-understood passage we "liberals" (and the courts for the last 70+ years) have "bastardized".
They seem to think the First Amendment says, "The people shall have not practice their religion if it offends anyone else for any reason",
No, we think the first amendment says that Congress (and by way of incorporation state and local governments) shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion (among other things). You know,
exactly what it says.
If you don't like our "crazy beliefs", then maybe you should petition Congress to pass a law regarding it. Oh, that's right! The Constitution says they can't! Bummer! Or should I say "Obummer"?
...You just realize that the very last post you responded to
explicitly said "you can have your crazy beliefs", right?
Nobody is trying to take your Christianity away.
Nobody. All anyone else wants is for there to be certain legal safeguards in place to ensure that no religion can sneak into the classroom. And somehow, I get the feeling you guys agree:
Yeah, that's awful, and they should not in any way be forced to do that. The whole field trip is pretty damn questionable as a whole. So... Why does this only apply to Muslims, and not to Christians?
Tell that to the Department of Education the next time they promote an issue like trans-gender rights
Gender dysphoria is a well-established and universally recognized pyschological condition. Gender identity disorder, non-binary genders, and various other such issues
need to be addressed, and there's nothing faith-based about any of this.
or abortion as health care
I
guarantee that Sistrin will not provide a citation for the time that the Department of Education of the USA or of any state promoted abortion as a part of health care.
or have school children sing songs of praise for Obama
Bet this has nothing to do with the board of education of any school district either, but rather one nutso teacher who almost everyone will agree stepped over the line.
or present graphic and detailed sex education to sixth grade students.
Wait, I thought you
didn't like abortion. Make up your mind!
That is not what the First Amendment says. The First Amendment was crafted to keep government out of religion, not religion out of government.
Wait, what? What part of "
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion" is so hard to understand? It's a basic sentence, no extra clauses, no difficult grammar, just straight-up English. This isn't hard.
You mean the way they "promote" evolution?
Evolution is a well-established scientific fact and the cornerstone of all of modern biology.
I really don't think that a doctor who is operating on me is going to be any better because he was taught in school that humans evolved from monkeys.
You'd be surprised. Granted, surgery gains very little from evolution. But virology? Hoo boy. Virology lives and dies by evolution and genetics (another field that makes no sense without evolution).
First, public schools are paid for by the people, not your holy government. Public schools are not government institutions
How does this make any sense? "The DMV is paid for by the people, not your holy government. The DMV is not a government institution." "The IRS is paid for by the people, not your holy government. The IRS is not a government institution." "Congress is paid for by the people, not your holy government. Congress is not a government institution." It's nonsense. Public schools are government institutions. Yeah, we the people pay for it... Just like
every other part of the government. And just like every other part of the government, we have a say in what goes on therein. However, given that it is a part of the government - that it is a government institution - and that the establishment clause and almost a century of jurisprudence clearly forbids the establishment of any particular religion, it therefore follows that you cannot establish any particular religion therein!
Children are already sitting through mandatory instruction on Islam, and I don't see the outrage from the American left.
Maybe if we heard about it, you'd see more outrage. Of course, you provide no source, no citation, and no backing for
any of your claims, so I have no idea what you're talking about. Maybe the lack of outrage is because your sources aren't quite being honest with you?
