should the 10 commandments be required in schools?

I'm not really sure what it would accomplish. Seems like one of those things people would do instead of taking actual action to address a problem.

Only if they don't cover it up during tests that ask about the ten commandments! Like how world history teachers used to cover the map posters during tests.
And at least it's not the koran or some other stupid stuff. I've always liked how easy christianity can be ignored if you aren't personally religious. Muslims however, are like customers who feel entitled to make you listen to their retarded drivel.

But you'll occasionally have to see a cross somewhere or abide by laws prohibiting degeneracy, how can you possibly ignore trans rights being set back?!

In high school, my Government teacher was a full-on libfag with tons of political posters in his class. He couldn't shut the fuck up about the Democratic party. He had to ram his politics down everyone's throats as much as possible. The man treated politics like a religion. For those of you who have been out of the public education system for a very long time, I promise you that we've had what amounts to a political nu-religion in schools for at least a decade. I don't think any of this stuff should be rammed down the throats of kids. The teachers are underequipped to teach this stuff in the nuanced manner the way that you people are discussing it here (read: most of them are shit at their jobs and/or don't understand the nuances themselves) and the kids are underequipped to appreciate it for themselves.

It's a shallow measure at best, but I guess that it's better than some faggot who can't shut up about how important left wing political issue #64345 is.
 
I think that Satanism should be a required course in American public schools because if you're going to endorse an official state religion, you might as well be honest about what you truly believe.

I think there's a strong secular argument for it too. Cultural Christianity is an important thing that even some of the most virulent, militant Atheists like Dawking agree is good.

Heh. If I were an atheist I'd still support women wearing hijab and being against drinking and homosexuality.

Yes, and it's the parents' and pastors' responsibility to do that, not state-employed educators. Do people really trust state-employed union teachers to instruct children in Christian theology? This is what separation of church and state was all about, to keep the state from influencing and controlling people's religious beliefs.

Not nonsense like tearing down nativity scenes or Christmas trees.

It's not like a single crime or immoral act in history has ever been prevented because of the Ten Commandments themselves, if you don't believe in that specific God or his punishments for violating them they're completely meaningless. You need faith in God to begin with to care about the Commandments.
 
Think a basic ethics class would be far more useful. Wouldn’t be against classes in high school that offer secular study of the Bible as a kind of cultural lingua franca but the commandments are pretty useless as a moral code. The only good ones are ones everyone knows. Normal people don’t need to be told killing and stealing are bad
 
Christianity vs atheism used to be MLP tier levels of cringe but in recent years, like it or not, christianity in schools keeps normies from becoming antifa. Schools should have to recite the pledge, have proper classes on history of america and why it is good, and they should have the 10 commandments but there shouldn't be harsh penalties or even slight penalties for kids not playing along. Bare minimum it will keep at least a chunk of normies from becoming antifa niggers and thinking they're helping the world by burning shit down.

The better solution is education on how shitty and backwards third world brown countries are but even in the 90s that would be considered too racist and would never fly today. So the best you are gonna get away with is christianity.

Lets see if current day politicians can live up to the 10 Commandments. I highly doubt they would. Adultery and worship of false idols, IE money and power is the political go too. Of course its just holier than thou politicians speaking out the side of their mouths.
