Former President Donald Trump supports displaying the Ten Commandments in public schools, asserting that this might be the “FIRST MAJOR STEP IN THE REVIVAL OF RELIGION” following the Louisiana law requiring public schools to display the Ten Commandments in classrooms and state-funded universities.
In an all-caps post, Trump wrote, “I LOVE THE TEN COMMANDMENTS IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS, PRIVATE SCHOOLS, AND MANY OTHER PLACES, FOR THAT MATTER.”
“READ IT — HOW CAN WE, AS A NATION, GO WRONG???” Trump asked. “THIS MAY BE, IN FACT, THE FIRST MAJOR STEP IN THE REVIVAL OF RELIGION, WHICH IS DESPERATELY NEEDED, IN OUR COUNTRY. BRING BACK TTC!!! MAGA2024.”
Trump’s declaration follows Louisiana becoming the first state in the nation requiring the Ten Commandments to be displayed in public school classrooms. GOP Gov. Jeff Landry (R) signed the bill on Wednesday, which according to the AP “requires a poster-sized display of the Ten Commandments in ‘large, easily readable font’ in all public classrooms, from kindergarten to state-funded universities.”
I love the 10 Commandments too. But if we allow the Government to engage in religious advocacy we become a theocracy, which is exactly opposite to why the Founders created America in the first place. The First Amendment was literally the very first because they believed separation of government and religion was the most important thing to provide.
Rules for living have been ignored and perverted over the decades.
