(Christian News Network) – One of the nation’s most conspicuous Church-State separation groups has sent a letter to an Ohio school district to request that it remove a plaque at an area middle school that features the Ten Commandments. The Wisconsin-based Freedom From Religion Foundation (FFRF) says that it was contacted by a parent who advised that Welty Middle School in New Philadelphia has a Decalogue plaque near the entrance to its auditorium.
The plaque cites the class of 1926 at the bottom. “This plaque is a flagrant violation of the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment,” FFRF’s letter claims, contending that “no court has upheld the display of the Ten Commandments in a public school.” The group also asserts that students and others will view the sign as an endorsement by the school, and those who are not Christian or Jewish will feel like outsiders.
