Response to Anne Vantatenhove

Dear Editor,

While I appreciate  Anne Vantatenhove’s desire for a public posting of the Ten Commandments, there may be more relevant narratives.  We don’t want to exclude all other faiths.  This thread started with a false claim of inclusiveness, right?

Perhaps something more universal - say, a picture of Chloe Cole (look her up) with an excerpt from a ubiquitous prayer: “God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.” It blends time-honored wisdom with common sense.  Place it adjacent to the “Pride” mural.

Wait - does “Pride” allow for public displays combining those attributes?  Never mind, I withdraw my suggestion...
