Separation of church and state is not explicitly mentioned in the Constitution or law. The Bible was the first textbook used in schools. Money wouldn’t say “In God We Trust,” and the top of the Washington Monument wouldn’t say “Laus Deo” if our forebearers wanted God removed from public life. The Latin phrase means “Praise be to God.”
The Declaration of Independence wouldn’t say “endowed by their Creator” if God wasn’t part of our founding.
Maybe this why leftist prefer digital money, not just so they can control how you spend your own money. Erasing GOD has been the goal for decades because a religious people doesn’t bow to government.
The 1st Amendment guarantees Freedom OF Religion, not freedom from religion. It guarantees government can’t prevent you from practicing whatever religion you choose or mandate what religion you must practice. Separation of Church and State is a myth. People of faith know biblical principles are a roadmap that makes life better.
School Choice would be easier so parents aren’t forced to fund failing schools and pay tuition to the school of their choice. WGLT did a story on another option: https://www.wglt.org/illinois/2024-05-28/eureka-public-school-students-could-have-option-of-studying-the-bible-during-the-school-day
The local leftist have lost their minds!
Krystle: Get your leftist buddies to pass School Choice if you really wanted Christians out of public schools. I’m sure they will happily leave for a better education without gender and political indoctrination.
Thanks for playing the Christian Nationalist game Krystle. You confirm the left believes being a Christian and loving your country is evil.
See the comments on Able’s Facebook page. Some are priceless. Here are a couple:
I can think of lots of “bits” kids need to know. Start with the 10 Commandments.
Joan doesn’t realize Woodford County passed a resolution stating TAX DOLLARS wouldn’t be used to fund illegals. They didn’t say people can’t fund them. Of course leftists don’t want to spend their own money – just government money.
Mental LibTardation is real!
There is no cure!
Churches provided the initial ‘safety net’ for people in need. As the govt. became the provider of the safety net, looked how they have multiplied–kinda out of control and we want more!
According to World Relief one in seven Christians world wide has faced persecution or discrimination. Krystle is a frequent poster on Not In Our Town Facebook. NIOT needs to take a stand against Anti Christian bigotry and the Anti Jewish bigotry that has increased 400 percent across college campuses in the United States.
The incredibly brave pledge signers and model citizens of NIOT continue to remain silent on both issues.
When Jefferson wrote “separation of church and state” to the Danbury pastors, the intent was to keep the state out of the church, not the other way around.
Calling citizens and taxpayers Christian Nationalists is in itself racist profiling
Been labeled and data tagged that personally a lot.
Also been harassed on social media and elsewhere (quiet workplace retaliation
These children have lived inna bubble clearly and their “acceptance” and embracing all has clearly not been taken from their paychecks or savings.
When I drive by the church on Towanda/Vernon and see the big BLM promotions and slogans its clear when B-N has become. A NFP money funnel at long time citizen expense.
Not In Out Town…laughable
There isn’t a church at Towanda & Vernon.
The only thing Able is convincing any one of is that she’s a wild-eyed anarchist speaking to a tiny minority of the community. The majority just needs to hear her out and vote.
Maybe Krystle and her pals on the county board should pass a resolution that McLean County will not use church buildings as polling places.
The last board leftists wanted to. Then they found out elections needed them.
Once the life raft is full, piling more people in sinks the boat. Everyone drowns. Have Diane explain it to you Crystal as I doubt you hang with anyone that would have a clue.
Eureka has had religion in their schools for years, who cares? I’m quite sure those who don’t want that, won’t move there. Those who live there, embrace it. Why does she care what Eureka does? She would likely never step foot there.
It’s crazy how the supreme Court has upheld separation of state and church for like most of the country’s history. Must be made up of anarchist commies.
Sure, they told government they can’t get copies of sermons or shut down churches. Never once have they ruled people who work for government can’t practice their religion.
