As you could expect, the law is already facing alawsuit from parents, and heavy criticism online.
Whatever happened to complete separation of church and state?
Whether you agree or not, here’s what they said:
1.
“I think its an awful idea.
Im Jewish (though not particularly religious), so the Ten Commandments are part of my religion anyway.
However, I am in favor of a complete separation of church and state.”

“If someone mentions anything about the queer community, theyre pushing gay agenda.

“I have no problem with my children attending religious events, either.
The commandments do have some mortal guidance, and there is never anything wrong with morals.
Its not like the teacher will be doing a whole Bible sermon.”

“This is why I refuse to teach in the south.”

“Let me start by saying Im Catholic.
I love Jesus and believe in Him.
But I also know that others dont share my faith.
And I know that if an LDS lawmaker tried to ban coffee, there would be outrage.
I know that if a Muslim lawmaker tried to require hijabs, there would be outrage.
“Nobody has the right to force their beliefs on another person.
The only reason this even is in question is because Christians are the largest American religion.
This is a majority religion forcing their beliefs on everyone else, and its wrong.”
“Religion has no place in schools outside of a mythology class.”
What I noticed growing up was being required to sing Christmas songs in school.
That was extremely offensive, but I had no choice, and it definitely scarred me.”
“And because I didn’t celebrate Christmas, I was treated like an alien by other students.

“As a teacher, its terrifying.
Our founding fathers would be horrified.
It is horrible that this has to be a discussion.”
Otherwise, your religious edicts have no place in my classroom.
Youre going to explain to kids what adultery and coveting your neighbors wife means?”
“How are kids of other faiths going to feel?
The commandments dont mention homosexuality or abortion, so those are okay now, yes?
I think religion can be a wonderful thing IF it is a choice, not imposed upon others.
I believe what I believe, you believe what you believe; lets all calm down.”

Otherwise, it shouldn’t be in public schools.”
“Lawmakers forget (or ignore) that not all students follow the same religion.”
“School should be a safe place for everyone, especially if home isn’t.”
