Where’s the satanic Temple when you need them
Suffering from poor leadership and infighting, unfortunately.
Find one with the full text of the commandments. They’re a lot more interesting. My favorite is number 10.
You shall not covet your neighbour’s house; you shall not covet your neighbour’s wife, or male or female slave, or ox, or donkey, or anything that belongs to your neighbour.
Those handy little posters only mention coveting wives and goods, but it’s important that they know God says slavery is totally fine, just don’t covet your neighbor’s slaves.
There are two (or three) versions of the 10 Commandments in the Bible itself, before we even consider translation issues:
https://news.utexas.edu/2019/02/04/ten-commandments-in-texas-classrooms-but-what-version/
Anyway, the NIV translation uses “servant” instead of “slave”, which seems bogus to me.
Luckily that commandment is in exodus 20, and exodus 21 just happens to have the rules for selling your daughter as a “servant” for life, as well as the punishment for beating “servants” to death. You know, normal stuff.
And this is why it’s bullshit. 3 versions of a book some random person wrote to gather followers. Biggest cult in the world.
There’s a whole list of things that should get you killed according to those nice books.
Knowledge that the Bible says slaves are OK will not be beneficial.
It’s a perfect stepping stone for a lesson on how the Bible is completely incompatible with modern morals.
‘Modern morals’ only exist on paper and are at best only selectively followed.
same is true of the bronze age morals.
David had a dude killed so he could bang the dude’s wife.
As a former catholic i always love seeing these types of christians that want to life by the bible but pick and choose. And even if not they never life by the one golden rule “LOVE THY NEIGHBORE AS THOU SELF” or any other doctrin of christianity
Even in Europe we give these scammers and pedo’s tons of money from the state.
I knowww
The mah-freedom-folks forcing people to do something (and making everyone less free) again.
Have then in the oldest English you can find. Old enough that it can’t be read by most people.
If you got told which format, use it as a study. critical thinking is good
Font was not specified? It’s time for
I can still read that. Use the same font as death metal bands
There is a whole family of those fonts. Many of the free ones are quite good.
Names, links? The font looks cool.
Sadly, the law has taken this kind of stuff into account.
It was Moses that received them. Contrary to popular belief. Moses did not speak English. I think it would be entirely appropriate to have the 10 commandments in their original language. Which I will assume was Classic Hebrew

I put posters Im required to have in my classroom but dont want behind the door. The door is always open so the poster is always hidden from sight. Students dont even know its there.
Hang it with the printed side against the wall.
Post the ten commandments written in Arabic and watch the racists lose their shit
Or microdot size
Put it right next to all other religious texts you can find?
Exactly. If there are people from other faiths to be made comfortable, include them. If there are atheists, choose a moral framework that’s line with your/their/the school’s values and put that up there too.
Post a sign above them that says: “which of these would you replace and what would you replace it with that offers better moral guidance?”
“which of these would you replace and what would you replace it with that offers better moral guidance?”
Thou shalt not kill; replace it with “thou must lubeth up before thy mandatory anal sex” /s

I’m Glad I Graduated when I did, I do however feel bad for all the kids still in school, Hopefully the satanic temple can fight for a statue or paintings of baphomet those guys are great at fighting all this
It’s not supposed to. That’s the point. If you aren’t one of us (straight white republican christian male. WASP is outdated), you’re not one of us, and you’ll be reminded of that at every opportunity. From school to the public places to the workplace.
Need a new acronym. SCReWM? Straight Christian REpublican White Male?
Screw me?
Put it on the wall and then cover it with the periodic table because you had important things that had to go over the top
Put up a Klingon translation
Start a discussion on how society would be different if people actually followed those commandments?
Start pointing out some examples of breaking those commandments using current news articles (which will inevitably include high profile politicians including those who made this stupid rule in the first place)
Just one or two days before, I’ve read about an old Cherokee Chief. Somebody read some parts of the bible to him, and he remarked that this was actually a good book, and wondered why the white men were so bad, despite knowing this book for so long. Figures.
