Can someone explain to me how putting a rainbow in a classroom is "indoctrination," but the Ten Commandments isn't?

I certainly can not even try to explain.

1. Of course it's bullshit. They are all about indoctrination.

As long as it’s the right, very far right, kind of indoctrination.

[BlueWaveNeverEnd]

16. yep. one of the commandments is about keeping the sabbath.. what does that tell a kid but to practice a certain religio

[Walleye]

2. Because right wingers say so. That's all it takes these days

[ret5hd]

3. kinda like "good touch" vs "bad touch"...

but they’re confused as to which is which.

4. I guess we should do away with the separation of church and state

Which would require the unleashing of tax assessors. Gotta do it.

Which may give pause to fake religious zealots in all their pastoral splendor. Are we in this for the glory of god almighty or are we in it for the money? Goddamn meddling freaking liberals and their goddamn constitution. How can we praise the lord and not make a buck?

5. All in the eyes of the beer holder.

Some of it is ok because it is good indoctrination, other bits are bad indoctrination.

Simples!

6. isnt the rainbow a sign of love to Noah? nt

7. Maybe we should have the Ten Commandments in English, Hebrew and the Quran's version

What about Buddhism and Hinduism followers? Lets be fair and balanced 🙃

9. If rainbows were allowed in classrooms, education would go to hell

kids would look at the rainbows (while they should be listening to the teacher) and start dreaming about how
beautiful they are while past memories dance in their heads about standing in the colorful warmth of one's
starting & ending glory. And before you know it all grade school children will be walking around looking for
where rainbows start & stop like zombies and when they arrive there they'll lay down and soak up the rays
while listening to Jesus tell them they don't need the 10 suggestions, just love their neighbor as themselves
and that's good enough.Then they'll go back to school and destroy the 10 suggestions and then Rs will be
forced to raise taxes to replace them. It's a vicious cycle, best to keep rainbows out of classrooms before
we can't afford them anymore.

10. It's only indoctrination if you disagree with it

[Celerity]

11. No.

Forcing the putting up of religious commandments of a religion in a place of education is indoctrination whether you agree with them or not. A person's agreement with them in no way removes the indoctrination aspect.

12. And how many of TFG's minions, let alone TFG himself, observe The 10 Commandments, anyway??

For a start, there's that one prohibiting lying...

14. It would be a lot of fun to see someone call him a disgusting hypocrite to his face.

Has that happened yet, on video?

[Rhiannon12866]

15. I'm sure if it has during one of his rallies, the perp would have been quickly hauled away

Remember "plaid shirt guy?" All he did was make disapproving faces...

[BootinUp]

13. Probably says so in the Faux News Almanac. nt

17. George Carlin had a nice response regarding the Ten Condiments (what I call them)

[no_hypocrisy]

18. Next step: Sending Billy to the Principal's Office for

"taking the Lord's Name in vain".

It's gonna be crowded down there.

19. The Rainbow represents tolerance, understanding, acceptance, kindness

The Ten Commandments represent a doctrine of authoritarianism.

I hope that answers your question, given the politicians involved.

20. Because they are Supremacists

they are right and EVERYONE else is wrong
