Perhaps they or their parents would be interested in such pro-union propaganda such as "Helping your child do well in school" and "Hey mom, I want to be an engineer".
But again, none of this has anything to do with the thread.
I think it does have something to do with this thread.
When asked about why people feel this is a violation of the establishment clause, and not in regards to court cases, but by their own reasoning...why does this picture in a hallway:
...violate these texts:
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof...
No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.
...and again, not based on what a judge says...but by their own reasoning, and in their own words, the reason given was that it presents the risk of indoctrination.
So, that led me to believe that people in this thread were opposed to it based on the concept that "it's not right to indoctrinate children to further your own agenda"...and the standard that they set for what constitutes indoctrination was not "Teacher making kids pray", it was not "Teacher teaching creationism in the science class"...it was a picture on a wall.
So I simply pointed out that there are other pictures on the wall that could also be engaging in the immoral practice of indoctrination by the standards others have set.
...this was, in efforts to try to make people realize just how low they've set the bar in terms of what they're claiming constitutes indoctrination.
By claiming that the Jesus picture hanging on the wall to discriminate against non-christians, is like claiming a picture of bacon & eggs on the wall is trying to discriminate against vegetarians.
Or in other words, there are some atheists who are so dead set on trying to "win" against the Christians, that they've allowed themselves to become overly sensitive.
