An Ohio middle school removed a 1920s-era Ten Commandments plaque after the Freedom From Religion Foundation complained about it.The Wisconsin-based group that promotes separation of church and state and nontheism called the Joseph Welty Middle School plaque a "flagrant violation" of the First Amendment. The group claims a concerned district parent complained to FFRF that the plaque was prominently displayed near the auditorium entrance of the New Philadelphia, Ohio school.“The district’s promotion of the Judeo-Christian bible and religion over nonreligion impermissibly turns any non-Christian or non-believing student

Good grief. They cave to one parent? Tell the atheists to pound sand!

"We" need to get in the faces of those atheists and remind them that at the time the Constitution was written, every colony had an "official" religion, if you didn't like the church where you lived, you could move to another colony with a different church.
It is only the national government that is forbidden to form an "official" religion.
Atheists...those with no invisible means of support.

When will the Supreme Court get off their butts and start deciding fundamental cases rather than leaving national issues unresolved. Is there really something in the Constitution that prohibits the instruction of fundamental millennia-tested Western values? If so, I’d urge you to learn Chinese, because we’re not going to make it.

Is there a good explanation why the national day of prayer is held every year with the presidents and all the important good folk in attendance? Including no doubt, folks from the islamic "community".

It seems to me that The Ten Commandments are the most necessary articles of education that middle school students need, teaching the rules of life and the right sort of relationships.

We don't have to worry about ever removing any atheist plaques. No one ever made one to commemorate anything they have ever said, or done.

What to do?
Parents need to organize & kick out the school board in the election & replace dem with those who promise to restore the plaque.
That will send the kind of message to polys that will be Biblical.

Hypocrites. Atheism IS a religion by its very definition. Scripture tells us that we are all born disciples of the Devil, and unless we believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, we will share the same destiny as Satan and his willing followers. It's time to pick sides, Satan, or Jesus Christ. Once dead there is no "Undo" button, or "Reset" switch.

As with the history of many idiotic lawsuits: it's always about the money. A group of 'offended' atheists tried to put the bite on my homebase of Ludington, Michigan for having a cross on the historical burial place of Fr. (Pere) Marquette which was maintained by the township ( or county, maybe ). It stood in some form or another on that point near Lake Michigan for hundreds of years, but only recently did someone get a bone in their craw about it being on public land. After much legal wrangling with expenses incurred by the taxpayers to defend it's legacy, the piece of property was sold to a foundation established to the monument's permanent maintenance. What a bunch of horsefeathers to keep taxpayer's money of their grubby godless paws.

Odd that God, the intelligence behind creation that scientists can't adequately explain even though they use fancy words to appear to know what they obviously don't know, doesn't have equal weigh under the law! Does that mean atheists who can't prove God's absence, or the reality of creation without employing infinities upon infinities, have greater weight under U.S law than that which made them? And don't get me started on the validity of historical precedents for ethics and morals - live birth abortions that some atheists can live with and 100% of Democrat Presidential hopefuls will not condemn is nothing but human sacrifice to Baal before the Ten Commandments raised us beasts from the slime we were inhabiting. God free - we are up the proverbial creek without a paddle.

Which of the Commandments do these people object to? Putting God first of course instead of themselves as gods? Being in favor of theft and adultery (being good little progressives, I suppose, banning those would be bad? Being in favor of murder at least in abortion and infanticide? I see how that might make them upset.

Why is it that when an atheist or a muzzie complains about something (especially Christianity), these socialist run goobermint run enterprises immediately cave, yet when Christians complain, absolutely nothing happens?
This school board is typical and definitely a failed public school glorifying socialism/fascism/communism, but then, aren't they all?

The left has won the culture war.
We are living in a post-Christian nation.
We are very close to living in a post-Constitutional Republic.
That does not mean we should throw in the towel. We need another Great Awakening. Those who want to remove Judeo-Christian influence in our society are taking us down in the courts who do not support tradition--its like all of a sudden, we have to cut loose from things which have been a big part of our American culture.
While there are forces tat want to get rid of ANY religious observance in the public square, as long as there are TESTS in schools, there will be PRAYER in schools.
