Oh, PUL-LEASE!!! Haven't we done this enough times already? Honestly, it's as though people like Olsen have NO idea what has happened in other states regarding the Ten Commandments and they just feel as though they can do this without consequences. Shall we also mention that the kids who go into those classrooms with the TCs posted are NOT NECESSARILY ALL CHRISTIAN???
Meanwhile, let's get the beer and popcorn together while the Freedom From Religion Foundation and American Atheists fall on this with both feet. Should be fun to watch.
I suppose it would be more than they could get their heads around to ask these fools what they think posting the Ten Commandments is going to accomplish. What part of the First Amendment, and our government being forbidden from choosing one religion over another do they fail to understand? People like this tend to see their religion as the answer to every question, and that's as deep as their mental processes take them. I live in the DFW metro, and a great many of those Oklahoma kids go running for DFW the minute they can.
110 years ago the state with the largest and most radical Socialist Party was Oklahoma.
Wall Street didn't like that and they sent preachers into the state to convert it to a proper Christian perspective. Folks like Billy Sunday and later Oral Roberts turned the most radical state in the Union into a right wing Christian hellhole. The state that spawned radicals like Woody Guthrie became the state that spawns endless Jimmy Olsens.
“When a Religion is good, I conceive that it will support itself; and, when it cannot support itself, and God does not take care to support, so that its Professors are oblig'd to call for the help of the Civil Power, it is a sign, I apprehend, of its being a bad one.” - Benjamin Franklin
I cannot describe how obscene I find this proposal. Never mind the costs and taxpayer dollars (from every taxpayer, no matter their beliefs) and the arrogance to believe everyone (parents, teachers and students) would be served and made better by this; it goes against the norms, the values, the traditions, and the laws as set down in the Constitution. The hypocrisy of it is just mind-blowingly stupid.
Olsen is the reason the key founders said "Keep church and state separate."
In the century prior to the Revolution and the establishment of the secular government, he would have imprisoned, tortured and burned innocent women for witchcraft.
Turns out [all] this denial of what our Constitution says proves that excessive religious belief makes you stupid, a fascist bigot, or both.
In this case, these men qualify for both.

Hmmmmm........he has a BA in business....I would have guessed journalism, just based on the name. 🤔

When I was a kid, I would have had fun defacing those and adding my own commandments, such as
THOU SHALT NOT SERVE SAUERKRAUT WITH HOT DOGS IN THE CAFETERIA.

End of rant...
Can I still covet my neighbors ass??? Just wondering.
A graven image prohibiting graven images takes a lot of low self-esteem.
Nebraska, Iowa, and Texas have assholes for governors, but Nebraska and Iowa's said it out loud.
All three have declined to participate in this plan for hungry children:

Olsane really take "Les derniers seront les premiers" a little too far. Is he that jealous of the 50th ?
