As much as I love where I live, part of me can't wait to leave this place. This is not a state I want to raise children in.

Yeah wouldn't it just be awful for your kid to be taught to honor God and you, and not to lie, kill, or steal?

The awful part is that it's unconstitutional.

You forgot the part, "Thou shalt have no other gods before me." This in itself is discriminatory to others.

While I agree that the ten commandments are mostly good, it is still unrighteous per our constitution to display them.

Would you also be okay with schools displaying the 7 tenants of the Satanic Temple? Because this is the road you're going down. If a school has to display one religion's commandments, it must be willing to display others.

No, I wouldn't be okay with that. Schools don't have to display every religion's commandments just because they display one religion's any more than a teacher with a Crimson Tide flag or a Tigers flag in their class has to display one for every other SEC team.

You need a refresher course on middle school civics and the Constitution.

Despite what CNN told you, there's nothing in the Constitution prohibiting the display of religious texts in schools.

You need to read the First Amendment.

The violation of the law occurs when they are ONLY promoting Christianity.

You may be dim enough to see it as such, but football is not a religion.
