Sure. But then allow the Torah and the Koran and the Holy Vedas also. As well as The Afternoon Satan Club

Good.

So, by law, if you grant access to religion, we should grant all religions the same access. Let the Muslims, Jews, Buddhists, Hindus, and Atheists pack the schools with their own books.

If you want to post the ten commandments, that's perfectly fine. I'm assuming that you will also accept the punishment for breaking a single commandment, correct? Are we going to bring back stoning to death in the public square?

Just let me know, cuz I have a whole backyard full of rocks

Ironic. Most of them absolutely worship wealth and have unbridled lust for power and control. Commandments for thee but not for we.

Note that the 10 Commandments have no prohibitions on incest and pedophilia, because all Trump supporters routinely engage in those practices

Ever since secularism became as dogmatic and ridged as any religion ever was, I say the separation of church and state is already defacto over. You brought this on yourselves. You couldn’t just leave the kids alone.
