高法最近几十年的若干案例对这个问题的界定是一致的,就是摩西十诫是有宗教成份的,因此不能在公立学校和政府部门显示。

“This is not to deny that the Commandments have had influence on civil or secular law,” the majority opinion said in McCreary County. “The point is simply that the original text viewed in its entirety is an unmistakably religious statement dealing with religious obligations and with morality subject to religious sanction. When the government initiates an effort to place this statement alone in public view, a religious object is unmistakable.”
原则要看对国家是不是好。
很多国家本来都是宗教立国,随着发展宗教力量减弱,那如果再有需要,重新加强宗教力量也无不可。
民主国家本来就是有修正的功能,如果一成不变,那就失去了民主的意义。
PS:不然大家公投吧,如果一定要推广一种信念,是在公立小学推广Bible好还是推广多种性别好。
你这样说是以民主代替共和。USA国体是共和而不是民主,所以根基类的问题需要以宪法溯源而不是公投。宗教和言论自由的关键背景是不能以国家机器给任何宗教背书,否则会失去言论自由。
我们即需要防止极左版本的政治正确对言论自由的打压,也同时需要防范宗教极端试图建立的政教合一体制。我作为一个libertarian, 认为这两点是殊途同归,必须同时警戒。
Thomas Jefferson and Calvin Coolidge did not use a Bible in their oath-taking ceremonies. Theodore Roosevelt did not use the Bible when taking the oath in 1901, nor did John Quincy Adams, who swore on a book of law, with the intention that he was swearing on the constitution.

Thomas Jefferson是我最尊崇的国父之一, 可以说是OG libertarian. 他对宗教阶级有本能的警惕:
“In every country and in every age, the priest has been hostile to liberty. He is always in alliance with the despot, abetting his abuses in return for protection to his own.”
美国的创建价值体系之一是Judeo-Christian,这是这个体系本身主流的道德基础,但是美国更重要的价值是liberty, freedom and the rule of law. 政府在宗教话题必须中立。这是毫无疑问的。现在就连想把十诫写在教室的政客,也只能说十诫是historically significant, 而不是religious. 高法不买这个帐,因为里面实实在在提到神和其它明显属于宗教范畴的语句。
我三次投票川普。也熟悉这个帖里的几位川黑(暂且带这么个帽子吧),但我的观点是和这几位川黑统一的。在华人网很难理性讨论问题,我认为自己一直是努力做到以理服人,拒绝谩骂的。
到底了
