In Giles County Schools in Virginia, the Ten Commandments were taken down after the Freedom From Religion Foundation asked the Superintendent Terry Arbogast to take them down. He agreed to remove the Ten Commandments from the school at least until a protest of at least 200 parents showed up for a school board meeting. The parents demanded the Commandments be placed back on the wall next to the Preamble to the Constitution. The School Board voted unanimously to rehang the Commandments in the school. Groups like the ACLU vow to fight this one out in court.
What do you think? Was the school right in putting the Ten Commandments back on the school wall or was this a violation of the Separation of Church and State?

I hope you own worm repellent, because you are opening the can =)
As a principal in a Christian school, my hope/desire is probably obvious. The debate will rage as long as there is more than one person in this country.
Basically in this case, the 10 commandments are hanging next to other historical documents that have shaped (and continue to shape) our current nation. It would be foolish to deny the Judeo-Christian influence of our forefathers. If the Commandments don't act as a religious symbol, they certain could stand as a historical monument.
No, I'm getting tired of the Christian goons and thugs dragging this country into the toilet with their lies. Theres nothing historical about the 10 Commandments, unless it's as an endorsement of the southern gutter trash slavers this country had to accommodate to get this country formed.
