Thou Shall Not Mess With Ten Commandments
A Texas law requiring displays of the Ten Commandments in public school classrooms was ruled constitutional by an appeals court.
The Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals just ruled that a Texas law requiring displays of the Ten Commandments in public school classrooms is constitutional. The Texas law and another in Louisiana had been blocked by lower court judges.
Supreme Court rulings on religious liberty in recent years have been absolutely clear. I have every reason to believe that if this case ends up before the high court, a majority of justices will affirm the Texas law. This really shouldn’t be controversial at all.
The Pilgrims were devout Christians. Our Founding Fathers declared that our rights come from our Creator — the God of the Bible. The “separation of church and state” is nowhere to be found in our Constitution.
The writings and public statements of our Founders and the laws they passed made it clear that America was founded on the values of Judeo-Christian civilization, the foundation of which is the Ten Commandments. That is simply a historical reality.
The fact that leftist lower court judges still play games with our religious liberty and religious heritage is another indication of how the culture war is a battle to the very end over what kind of a country America will be.
Many of the people who are screaming, “You can’t let a child see the Ten Commandments at school,” are the same people demanding that your child spend “quality” reading time with drag queens.
They’re the same people who want your 7-year-old to be taught about gay sex and encouraged to question their “gender identity.” And if we say, “I don’t want my child subjected to that,” their answer is, “You don’t get to decide.”
The Left will change positions on a dime depending on how it advances their side of the civil war over what America is. Don’t fall for the Left’s contradictory arguments.
