re: #406 Backwoods_Sleuth
Here’s how it works in real life.
Local meetings in my county start with a very lengthy prayer (it can go on for many minutes) that often includes repeated references to “Lord Jesus” and asking his guidance during deliberations and decisions. And there’s a huge replica of the Ten Commandments tablets hanging on the wall.
Those attending the meeting MUST stand with clasped hands and bowed heads, and say “Amen” at the end. If you do NOT do this, you will NOT be recognized to speak during public comment or, if you are appearing to request an action, it will be tabled for “further investigation” or “later discussion”.
Welcome to tiny town intolerant America.
And if you want to bring legislation or a lawsuit in an attempt to change that, well, I hope you never need anything in the county again. From either your neighbors or the county itself.
