They might want to consider another name other than "pride ride" since pride rides are mostly associated now with gay rights.

And this has always been my personal issue with you Danny.
I don't want my children indoctrinated by anything especially government teachings (forcing prayer, forcing allegiance to a flag) and would prefer them to be taught how to think for themselves, understand the consequences for their actions, choose whats right and just for themselves and embrace the diversity, cultural and religious (or not) differences of all people and to have a respect for the law of the land and the Constitution.
If the truth is being told here, we stole this land from the Indians and tried to force christian values on an indigenous people which led to several joint resolutions by Congress to protect their beliefs and some of their land.
My issue is that you support the law of the land until it doesn't suit your Christian beliefs and that's not how it's supposed to work. The 10 Commandments had little or nothing to do with land we took from the Native Americans or their beliefs. For example...many Native Americans were polygamists and held rituals with sacred objects which is in direct opposition to what Christianity teaches. So while you may think its the law, back in the day it was not the law of the land. We (our ancestors) massacred an almost entire Native American population to claim the right to say its the basis for much of our law.
The Constitution (thou shall make NO LAW respecting the establishment of religion or prohibiting the free excercise thereof) is what this Country was founded on and the Constitution is the law of the land. The Government was to remain neutral. Hanging the 10 Commandments on Government ground is not a neutral position nor is displaying the nativity scene, and for that matter, neither is flying the confederate flag.

You can violate 8 of the 10 commandments and you stioll haven't committed a crime, so I fail to see the connection between them and the law. I'm breaking 4 of them right now and come sabbath, it will be 5.

Maybe that is what you associate pride to mean (homophobic are ya?) but its not my definition of pride. Pride is being proud of who or what you are regardless of whether you are red or yellow, black or white, gay, lesbian, homosexual transgender, confederate flag waving, god fearing christian, agnostic, atheist or just a down right a-hole. Own it! Be proud!
