Any lawmaker who seriously thinks that posting the ten commandments in schools is going to have any impact on juvenile behaviour is not only ignorant of the Constitution but subject to a degree of delusion that in any sane society would be a qualification for the loony bin. School kids recite the pledge of allegiance daily; many of them cannot write out or explain what they are saying. Why should the commandments be any different? I can imagine teenaged couples explaining their behaviour in the back seat by citing the "love thy neighbour as thyself" rule.

You have the right to ignore the ten commandments. You have the right not to read them wherever they are posted. You have the right to turn you eyes from them. What rights do you think you have that are violated?

FT, I agree totally. The school shooting was just a convenient way to try to turn this country into a theocracy. Those that voted for this should be impeached for failing to uphold the Constitution, which they swore to do under oath (while holding their hand on a Bible no doubt). If it was up to me the pieces of shit would be executed for treason. Del

Well, where are you going to find any moral compass if you reject the ten commandments? Certianly a large part of the problem is the liberal social agenda in the schools today that has produced the problems we face now. Going back to a moral foundation based on God principles certainly can't hurt and will probably help a lot. Now instead of having solid principles to live by kids are cast adrift with situational ethics taught to them by the liberals who control the schools in so many places. The failure of parents to teach a moral code at home is the #1 problem though. You don't have to be "religious" to teach your children morality. But if the parents fail to do it altogether the schools have failed also.
