All good morals.[/quote]

I knew this post was coming...

It is immaterial what you think about the Ten Commandments. We do not live in a theocracy governed by one religion. If you want your kid to be surrounded by biblical teachings, then enroll him/her in a religious school. [/quote]

So not killing people and not lying and not stealing are religious teachings? [/quote]

It's all good. Print them and put them up everywhere! I can't believe they weren't put up sooner. I look forward to when the commandments appear in all schools and public buildings in my state. We need to show everyone who we are: a Christian nation. [/quote]

Except the 1st Amendment clearly states that we are not a Christian nation. If you want a Christian nation, go create one.  Only problem is that you'll actually have to act like a Christian is so-said nation.  [/quote]

Well you can teach your children the Ten Commandments are shameful and that they are free to do everything the Ten Commandments says not to do, with pride. Problem solved.[/quote]

Where do you get that anyone is saying the Ten Commandments are shameful?

No one is saying that.[/quote]

Actually someone said that and claimed the 10 commandments were written by a bunch of drunk guys. The moderator deleted the post but not the quote.

Someone feels very strongly that their children not be shamed into not murdering or lying or stealing.[/quote]

You know darn well they are not talking about the secular laws (that also happen to be commandments) against murder, fraud, and theft. They are talking about worshipping a particular god, not having idols (some religions do and those are allowed to be practiced in the United States of America), and keeping holy a particular faith's sabbath, even though they may be of a faith with a different or no sabbath.

In any case, this is clearly unconstitutional and won't last.[/quote]

That’s your opinion. I hope it lasts, because I work in a school and the students are being failed by their parents grievously. It’s truly sad.[/quote]
How will slapping something on the wall in your classroom help your students, or their parents?[/quote]

Are you an educator? Please, if you are not, get your teaching degree and certification and help teach kids. There’s a massive teacher shortage. It would be great for people like you to enter the classroom and help educate kids.[/quote]

DP...  That TOTALLY didn't answer the question.  Again, how exactly will slapping a poster of the Ten Commandments help students?[/quote]

How does it hurt?[/quote]

[b]By making kids who believe in different religions or no religion feel like outsiders.  
[/b]
I would love to see the reactions from the MAGAs if a Hindu teacher put up the Yamas and Niyamas in her classroom.  Or better, if a Muslim teacher posted some quotes from the Quran.  [/quote]

Isn't that the point- to make people who dont believe in this feel like outsiders?  and thus subtly discourage them or assimilate/convert them.

The only issue is that this will only 'other' minority faiths like Hmong, Sikh, yazidi, Bahai  that have no other safe haven in the world which is truly sad.  The 10 commandments arent limited to Christianity- they are the foundational laws set to govern the abrahamic faiths so they arent going to bother Jews or Muslim Americans, they arent really proof of a Christian nation, just a 'western one'. TBH- even the Lords prayer and New Testament won't bother Muslims, they believe in Jesus and the Gospels.  they are even waiting for Jesus to come back and kill he non-belivers like evangelicals do so.. who exactly is this really hurting? religious minorities and that is a shame since the United States has always been a safe harbor for people who have no where else to go.[/quote]
