In which granite tablets inscribed with the 10 commandments were removed from
school property.
Is this separation or liberalism run amok?
I dunno.
If, say, I was a teacher at this school, and I had a card with the 10
commandments on my desk, is that violating C & S?
If a child wants to do for her artwork presentation, a pic of Moses hefting the
stone tablets down from the mountain, would that violate the C & S?
If a wealthy member of the community donated these tablets to the school years
ago and the school accepts, is that violating? (not stated in the article, but
just a hypothetical)
And, as the article shows us, does the wants of the individual outweigh the
wants of the community in general?
I don't have an answer for this--just wondering what you think about it.
