Yes, wrong things were done in the past. That is not a valid reason. That members of Congress did wrong things in the past is not an excuse to do them today.
I'm not I was raised up in Tx. Tx schools are biggoted enough. When I was high school they found out I was transferring from psych wards, the Mesquite school district told my parents to send me back to the psycho ward,they did not want me. Tx school districts have their nose so far up in the air we are better then everyone else attitude.Son of a gun!So, who here is rootin' for the bill?A Texas Republican has already filed a bill that would allow public school teachers to post the Ten Commandments in their classrooms.
State Rep. Dan Flynn says in HB 307 that “The board of trustees of an independent school district may not prohibit the posting of a copy of the Ten Commandments in a prominent location in a district classroom.”
According to the bill, if two thirds of the State House votes in favor of it, it would go into effect immediately; if not, then it would go into effect for the 2019-2020 school year.“I think it’s a good idea,” said Flynn. “If a teacher wants to put it in her classroom, she should be able to do it just as if she wanted to put up Halloween, Thanksgiving or any other decorations.

I don't have an issue with it. Most people don't realize that Islam is almost a carbon copy of Judaism. Today I'm hovering around 2/3 Muslim, so ...So, who here is rootin' for the bill?A Texas Republican has already filed a bill that would allow public school teachers to post the Ten Commandments in their classrooms.

Well, some people don't believe there's such a creature as god, and might not want their children taught that there is, and how he should be treated. And I think that's reason enough to keep it out of public schools.
Glad to see Texas legislators have solved all their infrastructure, law, educational, health and environmental issues to allow them time for this nonsense.So, who here is rootin' for the bill?A Texas Republican has already filed a bill that would allow public school teachers to post the Ten Commandments in their classrooms.

Calm down, don't get shouty about it. What if they simply present it as an Archeological specimen? The document is perhaps familiar to most whether they subscribe to it or not.Well, some people don't believe there's such a creature as god, and might not want their children taught that there is, and how he should be treated.

And, of course, the Ten Commandments isn't talking about any old god or a god of one's own choosing, but the god of Abraham, a very specific god. Think Christians would like a list of the six systems (ṣaḍdarśana) of Hinduism posted in public school classrooms? Or how about The Eleven Satanic Rules of the Earth?

Ah ha, I must have hit a raw nerve,
And what if they don't? And an "archeological specimen"? Hardly. All it is are the supposed words of god as related in a religious text.
But it isn't a document at all, but as I said, the supposed words of gods as related in a religious text.
Ever notice the people who bang on most about how inviolable and important the Constitution is are the first to ignore it when it becomes inconvenient to the pursuit of their biases?BURN IT DOWN! I TELL YOU!!! REVOLUCIOOOOOOOOON!

There is a Jewish Synagogue up on the hill from me and they have a set of tablets that must be 50 feet high. I think they are pretty. As to anyone subscribing to it, I don't care.
It's an independent school district, so they don't have as many limitations.So, who here is rootin' for the bill?A Texas Republican has already filed a bill that would allow public school teachers to post the Ten Commandments in their classrooms.

When I see the 10 commandments, I flash back on "The 10 Commandments" with Charlton Heston.
