An Oklahoma County judge has thrown out a lawsuit that wanted the removal of the Ten Commandments monument at the state Capitol Friday.

Attorneys for the ACLU say they will appeal the ruling to the state Supreme Court.

The lawsuit claims the monument violates the state constitution’s ban against using public property to support church or religion.

Now if we all would obey them. . . . I’m giving a $10 incentive per student in my SS Class to learn them and the stipulation is that any time after receiving their reward during the year I ask them to recite and tell the meaning and they forget. . .back goes the $10. I practiced too much short-term memorization as a kid and as a result actually learned diddly for the long haul in some subject areas. The “A” turned out meaningless.

So is it the do not murder, or the do not covet or the honor mother and father statements that piss off the ACLU?

Interesting that the article does not contain the name of the judge, nor does it give the judge’s rationale for the decision. Instead it gives 80% of the article over to whining quotes from the ACLU.

So, for the record, the judge’s name is William Prince. Yes, he is up for reelection in November and perhaps that’s why KFOR chose not to put his name in the article. Although they would argue it would be inappropriate to put his name in the article because of the election. Fairness and all, wink, wink, nod, nod.

True, but it makes for a hostile work environment for those that violate them daily in court.
