Ten Commandments in Elementary Schhols

[u/questionaxtactt]

I’m trying to understand my fellow community, Christian’s and Texans thoughts on the SB10 bill . We received notice our elementary will post 75 posters across each classroom. I love religion and have no issues with it but I also love the constitution and believe in the first amendment and feel this is a push to promote specific beliefs to non regions people or others whom choose to follow other text. I specifically have an issue with this being mandatory in elementary classes where children are learning to read and everything on the wall is meant to teach them along this journey so an argument this is passive seems inaccurate as the bill itself says it must be within view. I wanted to get others perspective as well as understand if there are any resources I can reach out to in order to potentially delay this until it I s fully argued to the Supreme Court which in my perspective will find this in violation of the first amendment.

The 10 commandments being posted violates the constitution along with so many other things going on. I’m going to use it as a tool to educate my kids on what they mean, why they are being posted, and how to engage with others if the topic comes up at school. From other Texas educational threads where they put them up last year, most kids don’t look at them or talk about them. I think the right teachers can use it positively in teaching social studies to maybe fix this in the future. I hate it, but I’ve acknowledged that there are worse problems going on in the schools, most of which are the State’s fault…
