  • There’s no winning and losing in discussion. It’s not a contest. The point of sharing ideas is to learn and have better ideas.

    But like I said, you and I differ at a fundamental level. I say no religion in the classroom, unless it’s taught like a cultural class and includes many religions. You want religion in the classroom, but only if it’s your religion. We will never see eye to eye.

    And I’m not trying to shame you. I’m telling you you’re being a dick for no reason, and that’s a personal problem you should work on. I don’t care if work on it or not, I don’t know you. But I bet you’re surrounded by people who would appreciate if you worked on yourself a bit.

    But hey, don’t take advice from a heathen. You might end up in hell and burn for all eternity.




  • I think you’re not reading my words. SEL was an example, and clearly not a good one so I should not have brought it up. It’s irrelevant to ten commandments in the classroom except as an example. So it’s not relevant here. Happy to have a different thread about that later. But this thread is about ten commandments.

    People should not be pushing a religious agenda. That’s it. Full stop. If you can’t agree on that, then we cannot find any place to agree.


  • No, I admit that people have unfounded concerns about SEL, and that I’m not going to be able to change the mind of someone so entrenched in fear of those topics. It also isn’t relevant to the point.

    And I can’t tell if you’re being snarky in that last comment, or if you’re saying that it’s clearly the GOP trying to push a religious agenda? I mean, you may think that’s justified. But that is what they’re doing?


  • Scary buzzwords, to be sure. The second two topics are about accepting people for who they are. The first is about recognizing that our current laws are unfair to some people.

    These are not unreasonable things. But I will not be able to convince you of that. I imagine nothing would.

    So regardless. If they wanted to teach ethics, they can do so by posting a short list of things everyone should do. They aren’t doing that. They’re pushing one religion’s agenda, and we don’t do that in America.
