In the Face of Hatred and Division, We Must Choose Unity and Hope, by Yael Eckstein

By Yael Eckstein, The Stream - And we, as people of faith, Christians and Jews, must now stand against that evil and act as agents of light and life and goodness. We must show the world through words and actions that Judeo-Christian values sanctify life. We don’t confuse right with wrong; good with bad; life with death... We must remind ourselves, as Moses reminded the children of Israel thousands of years ago in Deuteronomy 30:19, “This day I call the heavens and the earth as witnesses against you that I have set before you life and death, blessings and curses. Now choose life, so that you and your children may live.”

By David G Bonagura, Jr., The Catholic Thing - What sin hath Louisiana committed in mandating the Ten Commandments be displayed in every public school? According to the plaintiff in the newly minted suit Roake v. Brumley, Louisiana is harming children by making them think about God... The plaintiff stated, “The Ten Commandments displays required under state law will create an unwelcoming and oppressive school environment for children, like ours, who don’t believe in the state’s official version of scripture. We believe that no child should feel excluded in public school because of their family’s faith tradition.”
