The Tennessee House soon will have to make a choice.
Do members want to make it mandatory that public school districts allow individual schools to display the Ten Commandments or leave it to the discretion of individual districts?
We hope, if they have to choose, they make the latter choice.
A bill mandating that school districts allow schools to post the biblical Ten Commandments passed the state Senate last week. A bill allowing school districts to permit their schools to post the Ten Commandments passed the state House in February.
