You can't force this on anybody.
I don't think putting the Ten Commandments up in school is like forcing things on anybody.
But it's public schools.
I think in the Supreme Court, there actually are a lot of different sort of historical cultural legal documents that are up there.
And I want to say that Moses coming down with a tablet is one of them.
But I think there actually are other cultural, maybe even other religious elements of this, like where you recognize that a big part of sort of the law giving tradition in Western civilization is.
is some of these religious texts, not exclusively Christian religious texts.
Obviously some Jewish, there's like an important contribution from the Muslim world in this.
So I guess I don't think of it as exclusionary while also recognizing that America is a society
Our founders were people who were very much influenced.
Even if they weren't Christians, a lot of them of course were, but were very influenced by Christian culture and articulating American law.
So my argument would be even if you're not a Christian, like does seeing the Ten Commandments – let me put it a slightly different way.
Does seeing the Ten Commandments force religion on a non-Christian child?
I mean, my argument would be no, and I'd illustrate this by saying, well, there are all of these ways in which you actually could try to force religion on a child, right?
Sure.
I mean I understand the argument.
I just don't see it that way.
I mean I guess if – I kind of agree with you.
I hear you.
But if I'm a non-religious student and I'm sitting in there and I see the Ten Commandments, at the very least I think I can appreciate it.
