“In God we trust” is on currency, prayers are said at official events, we’re a Judeo-Christian culture and it’s woven into the fabric of things. Public schools can’t teach American history cleansed of Christian references. I think posting the T.C. on classroom walls is a piece of political silliness but if they do it, well, it makes for interesting reading — “Thou shalt not bear false witness” is not a bad idea: a purely materialistic view of reality does not come down in favor of honesty, only of self-preservation. I’m in favor of doing what needs to be done to keep assault weapons out of the hands of wackos who go into schools and shoot little kids. Thou shalt not kill. Do that and I don’t care what you write on the wall so long as you don’t take the Lord’s name in vain.
