I guess it would be pointless whistling in the wind to point how many of the 10 have been repeatedly violated by the favored presidential candidate of the folks who demand the Commandments be posed in all classrooms. Or, that it's supporters no doubt denounce so-called social and emotional support learning that tries to get kids to treat everyone with empathy and respect.
I know that irony is kind of lost these days, but the SEL programs that are so condemned actually dovetail well with the purported reasons for displaying the commandments. The commandments, by definition, TELL you what to do. SEL teaches the more important element of WHY. That builds internal morality and conscience rather than simple obedience to authority.
