This is sad, very sad, that kids of today are clueless about the Ten Commandments. Since the commandments come from a religious source, they are largely censored in our schools and government buildings due to the separation of Church and State.
Posting the Ten Commandments needs to return to bring civility back to our people. We have fans sitting outside of the Mangione trial supporting a killer who shot someone in the back. And the extremists believe this is ok in the name of justice. The same goes for the Charlie Kird murder. Give me a break. Since when is killing an innocent non-combatant considered righteous?
We are in a bizarro world and need to return to common sense. All IMO.

“Crucially, only such a properly anchored society can claim to comprehend the truth ... Because when God falls by the wayside, truth does as well. ...
..., a politics professor at perennially top-ranked Princeton University, Gregory Conti, lamented: “Several years ago, one of my colleagues at Princeton University hosted a lecture on religion and free speech. The talk didn’t seem to be landing with the students. Finally, he realized why: The speaker had made repeated reference to the Ten Commandments, and several students didn’t know what they were.”
Mr. Conti noted that Princeton students are often smart and driven, but they lack basic religious literacy...
There is a clear casualty of this ignorance: our ability to accept reality and the truth. Consider, for example, the shocking inability to do precisely that among far too many members of America’s more avowedly secularist political party, the Democrats. A whopping 42 percent of Democrats believe the attempted assassination of President Trump at Butler, Pennsylvania in July 2024 was staged.
A similarly galling 34 percent of Democrats believe the same about the recent attempted assassination of Mr. Trump and his Cabinet members at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner at Washington, D.C. ...
Nor is this merely a left-leaning sociological phenomenon. There are plenty of Americans who have heterodox or perhaps even nominally right-leaning political views who have also lost touch with basic reality, allowing their brains to be rotted by mass consumption of delusional conspiracies and AI-driven online slop. We call them Candace Owens and Tucker Carlson fans.
... When a free people loses the ability to discern between truth and fiction, rightness and wrongness, justice and injustice, there can only be only misery, despair, and destruction.
We’re losing that because, for far too long, we’ve been missing God. There is no better time than the run-up to America’s semiquincentennial — when we will celebrate the assertion of the self-evident truths that birthed the nation — to find Him once again. Frankly, America’s survival for another 250 years depends on it.”
