To the Editor:
We read the article in the Iredell Free News about the Iredell-Statesville Board of Education member proposing to require all district schools to display a poster with the Ten Commandments, Constitution, and Bill of Rights.
Our public schools must remain free from religious teachings and stick with education.
If those supporting the proposal of displaying the Ten Commandments in our schools are okay subjecting non-Christian students, teachers, and others to Christian teachings, but are not okay displaying religious teachings of other religions such as Muslim, Jewish, and Hindu, then this will be a form of religious oppression for non-Christian students and others in our school system.
This proposal is absurd and the School Board must not pass it. Public schools should not be in the business of supporting one religion over others.

This right here. In addition, a motion should be presented that declares no public funds will be used to fight the incoming lawsuits in the event that they pass this.
DEFEAT PROJECT 2025
If we the people elected those who share our Christian views then it stands that the majority of the voting public would back this endeavor. The Bible tells us this world was his before we got here and it will be his when we are gone. We are to go into the world to make disciples of all!
