South Dakota seems to be following Louisiana's lead here and is taking concrete steps to improve their public schools.
A new law being considered in South Dakota's legislature would make a display of the Ten Commandments mandatory for public school classrooms.
Senate Bill 51, which was introduced last week and primarily sponsored by Sen. John Carley and Rep. Phil Jensen, would mandate the display of the Decalogue in public schools.
'The board of a school district shall display the Ten Commandments in each classroom in each school located within the district. The display must be a poster or document that is at least eight inches by fourteen inches,' reads the bill.
I mean, I like it. But do we really think that an 8"x14" poster is big enough?
I kind of want more, don't you?
But at least it's a good start.
Additionally, the legislation requires that a statement describing the historical significance of the Ten Commandments be included and that a display can also include other notable documents, such as the Mayflower Compact and the Declaration of Independence.
'We need to illustrate our history and truth, some people may want to say, ‘We don't want to talk about these topics,' but the Ten Commandments certainly were a part of the founding of our country,' said Carley, as quoted by Dakota News Now.
It really is something to see Christians drop the scaredy-cat act and start standing up for themselves again. The Ten Commandments and Scripture have been a part of American education from the start, do we really think it was an improvement to remove them?
