As well they should create an uproar if the 10 Commandments are posted in a public school. People of any religion are free to teach whatever they want in private schools. If you feel the need to base your education on a particular religious dogma, then go seek one of those schools out and leave the rest of us out of it.

Oddly enough I've posted this to you on other issues while rebutting your posts. Practice what you preach.
No one should use force and coercion to get what they want. That includes government.
History classes must cover the major organized religions because of their importance in history. But there should be no organized prayers or preferential treatment for people of any particular religion in a public school. There's a reason the founders created freedom of religion here. Start with the Salem Witch Trials.
There's a long thread here on C-D that talks about how persecuted Christians are in this country. How about when it's the Christians doing the persecuting?
In a public school in Georgia, a kindergarten and first grade teacher pushed their religious beliefs on the students, leading prayer sessions every day in class. When several parents complained, these teachers then proceeded to ostracize their children, separating them from the class, and even telling one child that he shouldn't listen to his mother because she was “a bad person for not believing in God.”
A civil rights group complained to the school district last year, but the teachers continued unabated until the FFRF filed a lawsuit. The civil rights group won in court and the school district was forced to tell the teachers to stop.
