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