Should the Ten Commandments Be Posted in Public Schools and Other Federal Buildings? 5

Public schools and Federal buildings are PUBLIC places, and prohibiting the posting of the Ten Commandments is a violation of the First Amendment "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances." Which part of "or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech," you don't understand?

State buildings are subject to church/state separation statues. Good laws, good morals, good sense.

Carrying this argument to its logical conclusion: Islamists could hang a picture of Osama bin Laden in your local Post Office; The Communist Party would have the right to display the hammer and sickle; Satanists would have the free speech 'right' to decorate government buildings with up-side down crosses and statues of their favorite fallen angel; and Nazis would be allowed to post swastikas and portraits of Adolph Hitler in government buildings. Maybe the author might wish to rethink his legal position on this issue?
