Religious oaths in Firestone Academies

Also, if FFA is doing this they’re violating the Bill of Rights and anyone involved will likely be hit with a civil suit.

@Jeffrevin

Firestone’s oaths are, for the most part, religious; a quick search for the POST Oath revealed it ends in “So help me God”, as does FFA’s, and thus can be implied that everyone else’s also does.

Firestone POST, Oath of Honor

To be officially apart of Firestone Law Enforcement, you will need to formally be congratulated, introduced, and then publicly recite the Oath of Honor, as seen below: “On my honor, I will never betray my badge, my integrity, my character, or the public trust. I will always have the courage to hold myself and others accountable for our actions. I will always uphold the Constitution, the community, and the agency I serve, so help me God.” This is a pledge that you will withhold, and b…

FFA:

I, (state your name), do solemnly confirm,
that I will prevent the loss of life and property within the State of Firestone,
to the best of my ability and courage,
to serve any and all with respect and dignity,
to serve the citizens of Firestone with compassion, courage and integrity,
so help me God.

you’ll have to do your own digging for the others

edit: also, it’s been part of the oaths since the beginning, so i doubt there’s actually going to be a guy to blame here, but that’s just me

I don’t agree with the oath because I’m gay

[GopnikChan]

Quite sure this would be an easy case if it went to the Supreme Court.

[Jeffrevin]

I do believe “[…] so help me God” is more or less pertaining to the god you believe in.

[OfficerVideoGame]

no.

5 char

[DannyboyJurist]

What if you’re an atheist, or Hindu

[Ash1835]

then you’re going to hell

[Jeffrevin]

we’ve come full circle.

@Jeffrevin

Now, not to start jack, but there’s a section of people who refuse to believe in any deity or god if at all. Big shocker. It’s either non-religious people, or atheists.

[GopnikChan]

You’re assuming that everyone believes in a god.

[Brotix]

It wouldn’t apply then, now would it? Nah.

[DannyboyJurist]

I just pissed ash off in DMs over this great

[tow23er]

No one forces you to say the oath either, just a requirement to graduate.

[GopnikChan]

still unconstitutional

[DannyboyJurist]

That is so illegal it’s hilarious. Enjoy your SC case.

[Jeffrevin]

@Jeffrevin

I am, I’m telling dude that this is very illegal. I’m actually impressed that someone has violated the constitution this bad without having malice.
