Over the alternative of no prayer, yes. I have confidence my God would win the battle for young minds.

lol, see that, thanks.

Appreciate the answer, TVC, one more. You said earlier if he needed surgery, it could be possibly upgraded from assault to aggravated assault. Is aggravated assault determined by extent of injuries only?

If the cell phone evidence couldn't prove that a racial slur was used, would this lessen the crime and punishment of what this scumbag did?

Upheld, yes, and modified/ratified when wrong.

I put a lot of stock in it as well, it's one of a kind. It also should never go without questioning, if it did, we would still have slavery and women couldn't vote. I don't think we're that far apart.

The "being right" I am talking about is not in my mind only. There have been lots of issues that have been legal in the past but weren't "right". I understand you put a lot of stock in the law just because it is the law and because of your background. Laws have to make sense in order for me to have respect for them, not simply because it is the law. Over 50,000,000 innocents dead since R v W...all neat and legal. Men have gotten it wrong many times in the past and continue to do so and I believe the main reason is we have purged God out of our decision making.

You can't come at me with the "Constitutionally wrong" argument and convince me that makes it right. 9 SC justices have approved the practice of killing our most innocent for convenience, it's "Constitutionally right". Just because some men and women have stamped approval on something and it's the official law of the land doesn't make it right...it simply makes it legal. There are going to be a lot of folks that stand before the ultimate judgement one day saying, "but, but, but it was legal."

Another thread sidetracked by troll boy.

We haven't had to deal with it here but this critical race theory crap is a huge motivator for parents.

We have definitely chosen the wrong path...all in the name of fairness.

Which there is absolutely nothing wrong with.

Continued prayers and strength for this young man, his family and friends. Prayers for wisdom for medical staff.

He could have ridden with Cornpop.

Nobody wants to type that much.

Exactly right, the excuse that somehow Christianity is forced on folks is not true. A preacher preaches that homosexuality or adultery is wrong and all of a sudden they are guilty of wanting to infringe on folk's lifestyle. Nope. What will happen as weak Christians remain silent is the Muslims will slowly grow (sure can't offend anyone by calling out their beliefs...other than Christians) and when there are enough numbers, you'll see a group that has no problem infringing on a lifestyle they disagree with.

So we haven't allowed other religions in this country since it was formed?

So explain the Christian mandate you are talking about. I'm not seeing it.

Absolutely. I do agree with Mat's point as far as interference from the state in an INDEPENDENT school district but by taking state and fed money, they deem themselves not so independent.

They can't help it, it's their nature. Their upside is they still have lots of supporters, no matter how stupid they get.

Sad that so many consider the SC to be that higher standard. As far as the whimsical beliefs that this nation was founded upon, I wonder if these folks making this argument would be ok with removing "In God We Trust" from everything, letting someone swear upon the book of their choosing in a courtroom, removing the Ten Commandments and anything referring to God from all gov property? God used to permeate our society, even in schools. We remove Him from more and more areas of our life and then wonder why other bad elements are filling the vacuum. But hey, let's make some high school cheerleaders writing Scripture on some banners the problem. smh

Prayers and strength for Ben and family.

🤦

Dude, just stop talking.

And they wouldn’t give all the candy away for free to strangers.
