Does anyone know where to start to get 10 commandments back in our local schools. I feel everyone would benefit from this? Just my opinion. We need to bring God back into our country.

I agree that we need God more prevalent in our country, but that needs to start at home, not at a public school. I am a very strong Christian, but I also want my rights as a Christian to stay intact. The separation of church and state was created to protect our religious rights to worship as we please and believe as we want to without the government telling us we can't, not the other way around.

Good question. In my entirely non-researched and somewhat pessimistic opinion, I would say it takes someone willing to just go for broke, post the Commandments, get disciplined or even fired, and embrace the long and expensive court battle. On the positive side, there are legal organizations like the Alliance Defending Freedom who fought for Tanner Cross in Loudoun County Public Schools. They might possibly be willing to take on the fight.

In my locker? Is that my desk? My trinket? Personal space

This battle has been fought. Unless you are willing to post and acknowledge other sets of religious pronouncements in a PUBLIC school, you are violating the 1st amendment. Come on already with that stuff. You have no right to proselytize in a public school for good reason. Keep in in your own houses and places of worship. This protects YOUR right to worship as you wish and the rights any person or student who does not wish to follow the teachings of your religion. Why is that so hard to understand and accept. No one is stopping you from your choices by protecting the rights of others.

I am a Muslim and I promise if I started praying in Arabic the teachers on this bowl would have a fit and accuse me of indoctrination. It seems like to a lot of people, Christianity is the only religion that deserves recognition.

That goes against the constitution

I am a Muslim and I had an honest question since you want God back in schools. Are you ok if people pray to Allah (Allah is the same God your believe in) and read prayers from the Quran or do you think it only applies to Christians and the Bible?

@ESP,
Thank you for your question.
I would pose the same idea in regards to a statement I made in an earlier thread regarding Christian values in U.S. Public education:
While I am a Christian myself, I do not pretend that my country is, and our public education system is a product of that.
Take a look at the Ten Commandments you propose to post. We fail to uphold all of them (as a nation) every day. I would argue that every person fails at all or most, regularly. And many Americans believe that the statements themselves (even removed from the context of Scripture) are arbitrary at best.
Do I believe people would benefit from these? Of course I do. But I also believe there is a reason the Lord chose to call them "commandments" and not "suggestions." 😉 Commandments for whom?
I can't expect this set of standards to mean anything to a person who does not hold to the Bible as absolute truth.
I appreciate the heart and the intention of your proposal - thank you for posting -, but would encourage you to remember that this world is not our home. We are strangers in a strange land. Remain faithful to the calling the Lord has given you, and love people well - even when they disregard what we hold dear. ❤️

Let's start from a prayer, and ask God makes a way.

Religion starts at home for the students. We have different religions in America. So, there is separation of church and school.

Dear friends, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world. This is how you can recognize the Spirit of God: Every spirit that acknowledges that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God, 3 but every spirit that does not acknowledge Jesus is not from God. This is the spirit of the antichrist, which you have heard is coming and even now is already in the world. (1 John 4).

Summer Reading.
I've just started (finished the introduction only), but already I would recommend highly to anyone claiming the name of Jesus Christ as our Lord and highest authority. The author is a brilliant man I've listened to for years. There may be some here who won't like it, but I would encourage Christians everywhere to take a step back and think about what is going on here. This *will* affect the way we do life & our jobs, as well as the way we love one another as Christ has commanded.

Even in the Christian world, we can learn from secular teachers and scholars who have familiarized themselves with Biblical principles, even if they do not realize it. Who are some of these that you follow? Do you follow them often or sporadically? Currently I'm listening to the Jordan Peterson podcasts....www.jordanbpeterson.com/podcast/. Lots of great information from this psychologist who eventually found Christ. He has several audio books out as well. Worth your time to listen IMO...

"Christian" has become a confusing term for many in the outside world, I believe largely because it is used to describe a wide variety of denominations, each teaching something theologically unique.
What denomination do you most identify with? Did you grow up in this denomination, or did you arrive at this understanding later in life?

Good Evening My Fellow Christian Educators! I realize it is going to be challenging for me this year...with so many of my students performing below grade level expectations in ELA and MATH and also ensuring that all students follow the COVID Guidelines in the classroom. I still feel hopeful that God will bless me with the knowledge on how to effectively impact each one of those kids. Let's remember to keep all educators lifted in prayer this year.
Have a wonderful school year!!
God Bless All❤️

Glad to be hear folks. I am sure I am not alone but I have experienced many attacks from my administration for simply answering questions about my faith in class or telling students I do not believe in abortion. Hoping to find some insights from others here in regards to still being a Christian example in public education without losing my job.

There are 100+ illustrations like this in my hallway because an English teacher thought it would be clever to use "Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God" to teach imagery. I can't imagine too many more succinctly effective ways to misrepresent God than this. Since I have a tendency to just jump straight to what someone has done wrong and how they need to fix it immediately, what would you say?

Hello! I am starting a Bible study devoted to teachers! This season has been hard, and I believe teachers need to be poured into so we’re able to pour into the kiddos.

It’ll be remote, and I was hoping it could be accompanied by an encouraging group message as well. Let me know if you are interested and we can find a way to connect!

Friends, are you ready to take the 'good person' test?

1) How many lies have you told in your lifetime?

2) How many times have you stolen anything regardless of value?

3) How many times have you looked at a person with lust?

4) How many times have you used 'Jesus' or 'Christ' in place of a flithy cuss word?

The bad news is we all fail the test. The good news is that Jesus paid the price for us, so that if we repent and trust in Him we can enter beautiful Heaven and avoid horrendous Hell.
