The attorney representing two anonymous residents suing the Connellsville Area School District over a Ten Commandments monument is asking to keep their names confidential. Do you think these people should be identified, or should they be allowed to remain anonymous? How important is this issue to you?
“No name no lawsuit. Anyone could make things up.”
“Own your convictions or keep them to yourself. And, [this issue is] important because those in opposition can create and dictate the narrative. It’s easy (and dangerous) for the public to get an inaccurate perception of their Constitutionally responsible (which does not equate to anti-Christian) neighbors.”
“Maybe if the world wasn’t so against them. Would you want your name out there if people talked about you like the way some people are doing? You don’t even know who they are yet you call them cowards and names over the Internet. You don’t want their names revealed just so you can be let in on the secret, you want them revealed so you ground their name into the dirt. Put a smear campaign against the whole family because they have different opinions then you.”
“Cowards! If you are going to stand up against or stand for anything make your name known. This just shows you just want to stir something up.”
“Why should two anonymous people force the removal of a landmark just because it has religious symbolism? It’s been there for 50 years and no one has converted to another religion because of them.”
“If you are going to stand for or against something, then stand up and be recognized. Hiding behind an anonymous lawsuit shows you don’t truly believe in what you are pursuing and are looking for controversy not satisfying a cause. Don’t be a coward, come forward. I seriously doubt there would threats made against these people by true Christians. As a Christian I would like to sue the couple and the group representing them because it offends me as a Christian.”
“As much as I don’t support organized religion, and as much as I really don’t care about this case, I see the sign at the school doing no harm to anyone, so the people that are causing a fuss over it need to have the gall to cough up their names or sit back down and get in line with the rest of the cattle of Fayette County.”
