Ironic that the plaque is removed to avoid issues, but instead it creates one.

I thought about doing that, and when I started researching what it would take I found out it is actually a lot of work

a religious zealot refuses to educate oneself,..  sorry but i fail to see the irony.



but seriously, the ten commandments do not belong in a public school.  public schools need to be free of bias and prejudice with respect to religion because our country's official religion is "freedom of".  students of a public school should feel free to express their own religious views openly and plainly and without fear of retaliation but the school itself needs to be completely neutral and unbiased and that means either putting up religious icons of every religion or no religion.  having only christian imagery projects an environment of inequality to any non-christan.
