It's time we instill proper morals, and not just laws without reason. The American Golden Age is now.
If you want schools to instill proper morals, you should look at what japanese schools are doing.

The Ten Commandments Great!

That sure does beat a rainbow flag in the classroom

The shoes on the other foot now, it's a complete 180 about face

Are you suggesting that the Ten Commandments poster has magical properties? Did the flag?

What an ignorant, nonsensical comment...

Have you stopped beating your wife, though?

Would you be comfortable if the city council in Dearborn, Michigan voted to read Quran in public schools in Dearborn, MI?

How is a poster of the Ten Commandments hanging there on the wall going to "install proper morals?" Just by hanging there?

A clear violation of the first amendment and the principle of the wall of separation.

I am literally giddy at what WE will be able to accomplish when WE'RE back in power. No idea the can of worms all this nonsense opens up.

After School Satan clubs will be offered for all students at all schools
The 7 Tenets of Satanism in every classroom, a MUCH better set of rules to live by, IMO
Secular chaplains in every school
Brain's "How God Works" will be part of the core curriculum

The possibilities are endless!!

EDIT to clarify: This is not a promotion of "Satanism", but in the context of politics, Satanism would be as much a valid religion as Judaism, Christianity or any other religion. Any argument you could make against the Tenets of Satanism being posted would apply to any other religion you would want promoted.

This doesn’t really bother me. It is in Texas after all but my question for those who support this policy, what do you expect to be the result or outcome from just posting the 10 commandments at public schools? What is the aim here?

Was the rainbow flag legislated to be mandatory in schools?

Still seems to me that people proposing this don't know the Bible very well.

Be that as it may, sure, let's see how the current Supreme Court handles the issue. I think it's not going to go well for the Texas legislators.
