"South Dakota Will Now Force All Public Schools to Put Up 'May Allah Guide You' Signs"

Please read the link. Please.

Check the linked source. That should illuminate the OPs purpose.

Thanks. I read the OP and then the source. I thought Skwim did an excellent job of presenting the story by the small changes he made. My opinion would be the same regardless, but I like the irony.

I prefer Ben Franklin's mottoes, which were the
first on our money (long before all this God stuff)....
Mind Your Business
&
We Are One

Ben knew a thing or two that would be much the same today as it was when he came up with it.

It's why I forgive him for spending so much time in France.

I'm up for changing the national motto of the US by selling it to the highest bidder.

"I'm lovin' it", anyone?

"South Dakota will require all public schools to display “May Allah Guide You” signs in a prominent place beginning next school year, after Republican Governor Kristi Noem signed Senate Bill 55 yesterday.

This kind of Islamic kowtowing is hardly surprising in a state where groups can give legislators personalized Korans with the State Seal on them, and where the governor can host a Muslim worship party on her first day in office.

It would be national news if we were talking about any other religion, but conservative Muslims are doing everything they can to push their faith on the people of the state.

Republican majorities are more than willing to give them whatever they want.

Thoughts?

Religious freedom is the cornerstone of our unity. WIlliam Cooper who I do not like very much said it brilliantly in the following speech starting the 4th minute into the video:

 

[Skwim]

In God we trust is our national motto

Would you prefer the motto suggested by liberal Thomas Jefferson who popularized the phrase 'separation of church and state' His motto was "rebellion to tyrants is obedience to God"

I prefer "E pluribus unum."

I thought he went to France to investigate stories about ladies and pants and dance. Ben. He was way ahead of his time.

The current motto is the result of a Cold War knee jerk response to the Godless Soviets. Got to stop them. Turns out they were doing most of their own stopping themselves. They were just very good at hiding that and making it look like they were so far ahead.

 

[Cooky]

Despite the separation of Church and State, there are TONS of pro-Christian paraphernalia on display on public/state grounds throughout America.

What about....... ism...

 

[Twilight Hue]

Forgive if I seem skeptical about TONS in public/state grounds. In PRIVATE schools and in RELIGIOUS schools, you might see this.

However, in public schools, they are largely governed by the state, and you tend to get more ummm secular posters.

See, no religious posters...

How'd that get there?

Also, you're missing the point. I'm been to South Dakota. I stopped at a rest stop which was three feet from a church. I've been to Wall Drug. Seen Mount Rushmore nearby. Having this at their schools is not the same as South Dakota being nutso fundie. Rather it's a sort of atmosphere of paranoia that suddenly the state is ruling that all schools must have such signs in their school. "Or else what?" Exactly. Will the SWAT teams come in with tear gas to shut down "Christian extremists"?

This is big scary government deciding to undermine the beliefs of most of the people in the state (if they knew about this).

In the meantime......

What If the School Bully Is the Teacher? Signs to Watch For

 

[Cooky]

You seem to be missing the point that there is no shortage of Christians using the American state to endorse Christianity. To require "in god we trust" be on display is to take a step backwards towards the days of Christian prayer being held by public schools. The South Dakota bill isn't an isolated incident but rather part of a much larger trend.

But...But....But...

...Christians!

You should watch the Cooper video I posted. It's the way I think we need to think about religion in this country.

.Thoughts?.

(1) If it's legal in the USA to have "In God we trust" on the currency, it's surely legal to have it in schools. See the many Supreme Court rulings on this.
(2) Is there no forum rule on posting fake news? If not there should be one.
(3) You unbelievers need to get over yourselves.

Our currency is owned by a private bank. It's not associated with the government, despite It's misleading name: "Federal Reserve".

...In the same way, bank of America could write "in God we Trust" on their checks and debit cards if they wanted to.

If you can't bother presenting your evidence why should I bother doing it for you? .............I shouldn't.

(2) Is there no forum rule on posting fake news? If not there should be one.

Hey, it was March Fools Day. In any case, sorry you got taken in and are feeling sheepish for it. But

(3) You unbelievers need to get over yourselves.

So you believers can have an unobstructed shot at the gullible? Never!..... Never!......... Never!

"Don't be evil."?

"Truth, Justice, and the Way of the Superman of 1976"?

 

[Revoltingest]

"Truth, Justice, and the Way of the Superman of 1976"?

A DC universe slogan?
How inferior.
From the Marvel universe, we have better....
"You Are, All Of You, Beneath Me" (Loki)
"Puny God" (Hulk)

 

[LuisDantas]

Hmm, maybe I can interest the USA in licensing my own "Morituri Delendi"?

About time I got some bucks out of it...
