    I really don’t believe that posting the Ten Commandments violates the establishment clause of the constitution. What disturbs me is that certain commandments, if they were the law of the land, would seem to violate the constitution. For instance, taking the name of God in vain. Cursing is not a form of protected speach, but questioning the nature or existence of God is. How about honor thy father and mother? Certainly good advice, but the constitution says we can ignore them and say whatever we want about them as long as it is not lible or slander. Then there is the one about keeping the Lord’s day holy. I know some states and cities have blue laws, but the Federal government can’t make us all participate in that silliness. So, since some of the Ten Commandments are unconstitutional, (unAmerican?) should we really be advocating them in public school. Seems almost like treason.
