You continue to decline to tell me whether you should be allowed to prohibit
children (or parents or teachers or legislators) who want Mill, Bentham and Hume in
the classroom, a list of their precepts posted behind the teacher, from having them
there alongside of 'God's'
'Commandments.'

Speaking purely in hypotheticals, without any reference to specific beliefs, and particularly not to yours, I do NOT believe that any group has the right to post their precepts behind the teacher.

Neither, I think, do you.

If you disagree with me, go to the web sites of some of the white supremicist, milita groups and ask if you want them to have the right to post their beliefs in your child's classroom.

Why the 10 Commandments and not theirs? Because the democratically elected legislation approve of the 10 commandments, and not theirs.
