That's part of what He commanded, but why would you snip those two verses out of the surrounding context?
3
And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?
4 Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye?
5
Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye.
When you take the passage in context, it is plain that it is not a prohibition against any and all judgment, but a prohibition only against hasty and hypocritical judgment.
If there were a Biblical prohibition against any and all judgment, then it would contradict the passages that command us to judge righteously and fairly.

As a matter of fact, they often do attend Christian schools, and they can, under some circumstances, date outside their religion, if the expectation is there that the outsider will convert. If the outsider refuses to convert, then it will only go so far.
It looks like your
judgment that the OP was "a complete lie" was hasty and hypocritical.
