If you want to look at it in views as being 'unconstitutional', it breaks from 2 ammendments really. Freedom of religion (which as been stated, is iffy from that one) and seperation from church and state (which it is REALLY hitting).

Now, the school systems have been trying to make ammends by taking out the 10 commandments off of the walls. Personally, NONE of this bothers me. The only thing that bothers me is when they tell me I can't wear my pentagram or when I ask them to put up a pentagram on the walls next to the crosses, I get shunned because they consider it satanic. For one thing, it's not satanic. For two, even if it WERE, it should still be treated just as equally as the cross.

Then what exactly does your pentagram stand for? I have always known it to be related to the satanic religion..we aren't going to put buddahs and things of that sort up either...but to take down the ten commandments is ridicules because even if it hadn't come from the Bible those are some very good things to go by..don't you think?? Killing isn't cool..neither is disobeying your parents..cheating on your spouse is terrible...all the commandments are good..what shall they be replaced with?? Nothing? Just dead space or fill the space with something that has no meaning at all? I say we leave it as the country has always known it..I am so sick of sue sue sue and oh oh my freedoms, it is killing me..the commandments are good for all! Even the satanic ones!! As I said before..just throw your hand up there and say a silent chant to your own god..is it killing anyone? NO!
Well..not always known it..but as I said before that is one of the reasons they came here anyway, freedom of religion..right? Not the only reason but one reason with many others.
