Hilarity ensues.

Despite the negative image they get for enforcing the 1st amendment in schools, they have repeatedly aided in protecting the right to express religion elsewhere.

Good.

Want religion in school? Go to private school.

There is no room for god or religion in public school. Go to a private school of your choice if you want that.

You do realize that the 10 Commandments are Pre-Christianity.

Why is it that when Christians want to express their religion people get pissed off, but it is perfectly fine to express Anti Christian beliefs or Atheist beliefs?

No, I'm pretty sure you're mixing up Christians with Radical Muslims.
Common mistake.


So if most of you people have a problem with the Commandments, then you should have a problem with this too right?

Expressing their beliefs and pushing on to others are to different things.
