Florida Schools Ordered By Law To Display 'In God We Trust' Signs

[Bayard]

The sponsor of the state House bill cited the shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School as one of the reasons for displaying the words.

Come on, ACLU!!

1. If I lived there, I'd be the first to sue. nt

[SamKnause]

8. I'd be by your side.

[former9thward]

9. Have you looked at your money?

[Laffy Kat]

19. Of course I've looked at my money.

And I don't like it but I sure as hell don't want it in public schools.

[former9thward]

22. The point is that the issue has been ligated and decided in court long ago.

[msongs]

2. seems like teachers unions should protect staff's religious rights in work place

like why are employees forced to promote religion as part of their work?

[hurl]

3. Sadly, the sponsor of the bill was a Democrat

Kimberly Daniels. I expect this crap from Republicans.

[SamKnause]

7. In name only.

Her actions prove otherwise.

[Mike Rows His Boat]

28. It's Floriduh. Kowtowing to the NRA and RW Cuban exiles is de facto. eom

4. Don't they teach civics or American history classes in Florida schools?

"...sponsored by Rep. Kimberly Daniels, a Democrat from Jacksonville who runs a Christian ministry. Daniels cited the then-recent shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, for displaying the religious text, stating God is the “light” and “our schools need light in them like never before.”

A Democrat? Jeebus, don't we have better Dems in that state?

[SamKnause]

6. She is a con artist like many politicians.

She is also an idiot if she thinks light will stop mass shootings.

She should stick to her ministry and get out of politics.

[Flaleftist]

14. Consider the district.

The only way a politician in some districts who calls themselves a Democrat can get elected is by acting like a Republican.

[SamKnause]

5. The Freedom From Religion Foundation needs to jump all over this.

I am so sick of these religious fucks.

They will not be satisfied until the U.S. is a theocracy.

[former9thward]

10. Have you looked at your money?

What does it say?

[SamKnause]

11. I hope this is not a serious question.

[former9thward]

15. I would hope people who think this is unconstitutional

would look at their money and the court decisions upholding it.

[LanternWaste]

24. I would also hope people do not engage in false equivalencies....

with both relevant and distinct differences.

But they do, so much for the efficacy and relevance of 'hope...'

12. Which God? The three part or the singular?

Which God? The three part or the singular?

[VOX]

13. Therefore, in Florida schools, wouldn't armed teachers be irrelevant?

Because the stern-but-somewhat-benevolent sky deity is all-knowing, all-seeing, and can work in mysterious ways, unfettered by inferior humans making fatal mistakes. He will smite any and all malefactors with extreme prejudice.

[jmowreader]

16. This is going to help?

Nikolaus Cruz wouldn't have looked at the word "God" displayed on the wall of MSD High and gave up his rampage.

[Duppers]

17. IF this passes,

There will be a Supreme Court challenge. For sure.

I'm sure Pence would like to amend the U.S. Constitution but we'll deal with this insanity if needed. These Dominionists cannot win this battle.

[kdmorris]

21. This has passed...

signed by Governor Rick Scott in March... and schools are required to display it starting 2018 back to school...

[Duppers]

23. Thank you! My reading comprehension with sleep deprivation

Is zilch apparently! The OP plainly stated that.
Again many thanks!

The FFRF or ACLU should be filing suit, we can hope.

[Initech]

18. OMFG.

They actually bought the bumper sticker bullshit.

[onethatcares]

20. "all others

pay cash"

Florida, land of red tide and green algae, stand your ground and concealed weapon permits.

Why anyone would want to tourist here baffles me.

[peekaloo]

25. LOL

reminds me of my first trip to Disney World. On the wall in the ladies room someone had scrawled, "Jesus Saves" . beneath it others had written "trading stamps, old coins, rubber bands, etc."

I live here and while we're not ALL assholes, we do seem to be outnumbered.

[Wounded Bear]

26. Are the signs bullet proof and usable as a combat protective devices?

[spanone]

27. separation of church and state....whatever happened to that?

[2naSalit]

29. Sounds unconstitutional to me...nt
