Monumental Decision

First off, we try our best to stay away from too much politics,
and too much religion.

We hate having other peoples views forced onto us.

So we try to give others the same respect that we would appreciate.


Editor's Note:

Today's post is for informational purposes only. We will do everything
in our power not to force our views on you.


Here are the facts as we know them.
(And by 'know,' we mean 'think.')

A few years ago (55 of them), the Eagles gave the monument to the
school district.

It stands about 6 feet tall, and resides outside of the gym.

It showcases the Roman Catholic version of the 10 Commandments.

The Freedom From Religion Foundation is requesting the district take
the monument down.

They are based in Wisconsin.

Many locals (mostly Catholics) are outraged by this request.

Many others (mostly heathens) happen to agree.

Editor's Note II:
The heathens joke was just too good to pass up.
Please find it in your godless hearts to forgive us.

Editor's Note III:
The godless hearts joke was too good to pass up.
We understand that many of the fine people that oppose the monument
are very religious, and we think that's wonderful for them.

Editor's Note IV:
The majority of theNewk staff are godless heathens.


This is a matter of the separation of church and state.

The district will look at things.
The Solicitor will look into things.
And by the sounds of things, the courts will look into things.


We do not want a religious debate to happen on our fine website,
or even our popular facebook page.

Please take our fragile feelings into consideration before engaging
in combative god-talk.




Peace be with you.
