Amen! (I say with a certain degree of irony.) The Ten Commandments require loyalty to the Christian and Jewish God. They require worshiping that god and not worshiping any other god. They require religious practice, like worship on the 7th day.

I could go on, but all the values I've written about so far are values that our founders abhored, not because of their religious basis, but because they intended the United States to be a secular nation that neither favored nor disfavored any religion.

They were so explicit about that.

This issue ain't even hard. I don't know how sectarian politicians can even try to justify pushing such obvious religion dogma in public schools.

We should not be teaching children to honor a particular day for religious reasons and keep it "holy." We should not be teaching children in public schools in any such concept as "holiness" exists.

Public school is not the place for religious instruction — Not least because children of diverse religions and no religions attend public schools and should not have other religious views pushed on them by the state.
