This is the Student Who Blew the Whistle on Muldrow High School’s Ten Commandments Plaques

This is the Student Who Blew the Whistle on Muldrow High School’s Ten Commandments Plaques

 
Earlier today, I posted about the Ten Commandments plaques that hang in every classroom in Muldrow High School (Oklahoma). As the story went, after an anonymous atheist student contacted the Freedom From Religion Foundation, the FFRF contacted the school and the plaques will now almost certainly be taken down after the school board discusses the incident at Monday’s meeting.
But the plaques won’t be coming down without a fight.
“It’s Christianity under attack within our own country,” said Josh Moore, pastor of the First Baptist Church of Muldrow, Okla.

Parent Denise Armer told KHOG she supports the students’ efforts to save the Ten Commandment plaques.
“If other kids don’t want to read the Ten Commandments, then they don’t have to,” she said. “But that doesn’t mean that they have to make everyone else do what they want.”
I guess no one taught these Christians the way the law works. Give it a couple of days, though, because they’re about to find out.
